Son Graduated Basic

 Thursday was family and our first time to see and hug our soldiers in over 10 weeks!! Friday was graduation day and right after he graduated he had to report to his AIT unit. We waited a couple of hours for him to get processed into his new unit and to see if he would get a weekend pass to come home with us. HE DID!!!!! We've had a wonderful weekend with him. Today he goes back to Ft. Sill to begin his AIT training. I hate to see him go again. This is the only weekend he will have to come home. He will have access to his cell and laptop in the evening though. He's not taking his laptop because one of the guys had his stolen Friday after just arriving at AIT.

Josh should have started basic Friday at Ft. Jackson. I haven't heard from him. We don't even have an address yet. I'm hoping he will call today. Here is a video  from Thursday. It's of me hugging my soldier (Brad) for the first time in  over 10 weeks!! Enjoy!
