I surely remember those letter writing days and buying excessive amounts of stamps!

How absolutely grand to see Son graduate from Basic, really something special to look forward to, I would be counting the days too, please do keep us posted!
The first call was to let us know he got there, the second was Mother's Day and the third was about his leg. It is kind of funny because neither of us is very good at actually writing letters. This experience has forced us to do things we don't usually do

I went to Airborne school there some years ago.

BTW, what's hi MOS?
His MOS is 94E Radio/Communications Security (COMSEC) Repairer. After BCT he will need 6 months and 2 days of AIT before he will be stationed. FT Benning in summertime is the only part of his graduation I'm not looking forward to! Especially since Dad is a polar bear to begin with and can't stand the thermostat ever going over 62! Ahh the things we will endure for our children

I'm trying not to count down the days actually...it makes them go slower After BCT it will get easier because he will be able to email...then we can actually communicate

Sorry for the delayed update. We had a wonderful trip down for his graduation! It was hot and muggy, it thunderstormed, my van broke down (& my hubby fixed it in blazingly fast record time!), and it was very sad to leave him again. He gained 20 pounds as predicted and is now at Fort Gordon for Advanced Individual Training. It's much easier for me now because he has a cell phone and texts me almost every day. Here is my all-grown-up baby boy right after the graduation ceremony



Now...it's truly official...he is an Army Man!

What a Fine Looking Young Man! The basic training is all behind Son now and Army life will be a little easier now.

Sorry to hear about the trip on the way down, the heat and humidity can be a real killer, and to fix a broken vehicle in the blasted heat, yikes!

Text messaging, that's just precious, at least in that area there has been wonderful changes thanks to the technology. Certainly a whole lot better then letter writing and telephone calls from a telephone booth, or waiting for your turn to make a call. Plus he can send pictures instantly too!
