Bet that was some quality 36 hours!
Is he doing well? Standing a bit taller? You as well? ;-}
He is doing quite well. Basic took about 25 pounds off him, and he was kind enough to give his old Dad a few Army PT standards to help me do the same in the coming weeks. We had a weight loss contest while he was gone and he won 25-18.
I just didn’t have a Drill Sergeant to help me.
His level of confidence is very good, and he has changed to the point where I’m fully confident he can handle his MOS without difficulty. It’s just hard having him gone already.
His graduation ceremony was such an inspiring thing. Can’t wait for his Christmas leave.
I’m ok, dear lady. Sad, but that’s to be expected.
