My son is in the Army. He was just informed that his troop will leave for Afganastan in June.. Its very hard on me since hes my baby boy.. I worry everyday about the unknown..Well i know its for a good cause but having a hard time dealing with this right now
my son came in for Exodus from the Army for Christmas and im very sad he leaves today and did not spend 1 day alone with me or any of his family. The girlfriend made sure that didnt happen so im having a bad day
Im doing good things have been going alot better lately. I'm doing rifle marksmanship now and we're supposed to qualify friday. Its pretty much pop up targets from 3 different positions from 50 to 300 meters. If I can hit 36 of 40 targets I get a marksmanship badge. Not alot has happened since I wrote last. We've been pretty much just trying to qualify with our weapons and Ive been doing pretty good. So far I've gotten 31 of 40 which is a sharpshooter badge but im still trying to improve. Thats all he wrote this time besides coming home next month for Christmas.. Im really happy with him :)
My son just left for Basic training for the Army October 6th . His dad received a letter today from my son there was 246 of the guys and only 26 of them passed. My son was one of them that passed :). And my son said hes in the white now he gets to learn how to sleep with his gun now. Im proud of him making it but the thought of him sleeping with a gun makes me sad :(
