Recieved the first letter

[John J.]

Actually the second if you count the form letter that came after the 1st week. All seems good, Swim went well running needs a pep up, missed the mark by 30 seconds. He's been there 3 1/2 weeks. Seems to me we all / most had that the first time running. Says he sure misses the 10 hour sleeps on our couch, man that used to bug me. Can hardly wait to get the next update from him. Maybe the phone call this weekend, we hope.

His PIR is 03Dec2010. At Graduation, he'll be easier to find than most while marching in formation because he is the Division Flag bearer. Easier on dads eyes. I kind of know what to expect from when I graduated there in the fall of 1980. (Co. 933 Triple Threat).

when you see him march in through the roll up door (it doesn't mean much now, but it will at PIR) you'll have a new level of pride that will be with you forever.

When is his PIR?

I can relate my wife and I carry our cell phones everywhere and check the mail daily. This has been the hardest, saddest, and the proudest time in my life.
