3 Sundays Left....

Of basic training that is. The girls and I sure can't wait to go down to Jed's graduation and see him. Anyway, sorry there haven't been any real updates lately, we have been on vacation with my family and didn't have internet access for a while. So, I will try to remember the things Jed has told me...
He passed his BRM qualifications, YAY! The only qualification he has left to be able to graduate from basic is one more PT test. He passed the first one easily, so I just pray the next one (which I think is in about 2 weeks) will be just as easy for him. Then, as long as he doesn't break any major rules, he will graduate the 31st of this month. This weekend has been pretty laid back for them. The 4th they had a brigade pass and then Toby Keith played a concert there on base just for the soldiers followed by a nice fireworks display. He said it was nice to be doing something else for a bit. He also had an off-post pass last Sunday and he got to go eat whatever he wanted and 'play' in a nearby town. We also got to talk for quite a while that day which was nice. He said that the root beer he got didn't really taste good and that made him a little mad because he had so been looking forward to it.
This coming week they get fitted for their dress blues (more formal uniform) and have a few other training exercises. They also get to train on a few of the bigger weapons, like the grenade launcher this week. All in all, Jed is doing well, but very much looking forward to getting to San Antonio where AIT is supposed to be a little more laid back, and definitely more interesting as it will be his job training in the healthcare field. As always, we appreciate all the thoughts and prayers of family and friends!
