Well, as to news, that is. But second hand news is better than none. Talked to my daughter-in-law and my grandkids tonight. David had been able to call them. So glad cause they really need the communication, they've been such a close family and I know how hard this transition has been in every way.
He is the Squadron Leader and someone higher up has discovered his talent in computers. He is doing their trouble-shooting and repair so that their system is nor only online, but in top shape. Speaking of shape, he has lost more weight and is the thinnest since high school. Can't wait to see him at graduation, whenever that is.
Apparently he is getting my letters and clippings from Sunday funnies. Hope Beetle Bailey goes over ok and doesn't get him in trouble. Just keep picturing him in charge of keeping his squadron in line, making their beds military style, etc. It figures, though, he is the oldest private there, having turned 35 while there. Bec says he sounds in great spirits, though tired. But, from what I read, tired is their first name during boot camp. And to think he is the one shaking the others out of their bunks, lol! My slug-a-bed out of bed at o dark thirty, wow!
Reading other blogs from Army guys and their families helps a lot to give me the bigger picture that I'm not getting from my son yet. I hope that he's keeping a journal because I know howhelpful that will be to all of us who aren't there. I hope that the rest of my family is reading this from time to time. Maybe others in the same position. Anyway, here's hoping for fresher news for all.
