Blue Phase

Jed has finally moved into the last phase of basic. He said it is exciting now when they go into the mess hall because they are the company with the fewest days left until graduation on the countdown board. This week they have urban combat training (I think is what Jed called it) where they have to go into 'live' buildings and clear them before they are 'killed' by their drill sergeants. He said it is kind of like laser tag. He had his last PT test yesterday, but he wasn't worried about it at all, so as long as he doesn't break any rules he should be graduating the 31st as planned. I got a hotel booked for the girls and I and we will be heading down the 29th so that we can be at the family briefing the 30th. Then, if all goes well (some extra prayers would be great) we will be driving Jed down to his AIT location in Texas. It would give us a couple extra days with him which would be really nice. I think that is really about it for now....stay tuned!!!
