Exhaustion is setting in....

I finally got to speak with Charlie again about 10 minutes ago.....he sounds EXHAUSTED and the "real" training has not even really begun yet! We only had about 3 minutes to talk, but it was worth EVERY second! Jackson got to say hello and was very curious as to how he was able to call if the Army took his phone away. After explaining that the Army let him use their phone, we were able to proceed!

Processing will be done tomorrow, and although they have been doing their P.T. in the mornings and going to classes learning "everything you ever wanted to know about the Army" (according to Charlie) during the day, Tuesday starts the PAIN!

I will keep everyone posted as I get more news. He will be sending me a letter this week, so I will have his address if anyone wants it and he has already asked me to look for flights for his Christmas break!!!

Hope all is well! stay tuned......

Time to shape up....

Well, Charlie officially left Thursday November 13, 2008 for Ft. Jackson South Carolina to (hopefully) become one of the military's finest. Jackson and I dropped him off on Wednesday evening and his bus rolled out around 2pm the next day (after more paperwork)! We miss him already!

I will be posting more as I hear from him over the nect few weeks (if he is able to call). He is planning to be home for a few weeks at Christmas, so of course, we will update then.

Hope all is well with everyone, and if there are other people I need to forward the link to, please let me know.
