Well we made it to Lawton OK this evening. My butt is sore from sitting. 1409 miles one way. Looking forward to see Dan tomorrow.
Thanks Glenn, I hope they taught him how to read a map. He relied on a GPS too much.
Alan, I'm sorry it didn't work out. I wanted to call before Tulsa, but it came up on me before I was ready and traffic was heavier than St. Louis.

Sounds like he can make his own bed now. Mom won't have to. As for map reading, he was in a group. Someone else did it.
He seems more polite though.

Thanks guys, we're proud of him. I guess I'll have to play drill sergeant so he runs his 2 miles every day. He goes to Ft Sam Houston next.

Chuck, I guess he's going to be a medic. He already has a radiology degree.

Thats great. Is there a comission in the works? I thought they went in a Lieutenants? Chuck

Chuck, his only upgrade was he went in as a private first class.

Boy things have changed. The radiologists used to be Lieutenants. I'll remember not to address him as Private but Private First Class! Where is he going for advance training? I would expect Fort Sam Houston in Texas. Chuck
