Hard to believe but it's almost time, 5 more days. He's had a quick test today involving running, sit and push-ups and passed that without any problems. He got directions to where we need to take him and will get a list of things he should be bringing with him. That list will be fairly short since they are to travel light and will be getting all Army gear after in processing.
Tuesday we will take him up to Tampa where he will be spending the night with other future soldiers at a special hotel. This is where we'll drop him off and say our good-byes. Then we'll head back home and he will get to bed early since his night will be over at 4:30 am. I don't know exactly when their flight leaves at this time, but it'll be sometime Wednesday morning I'm sure. Sometime in the afternoon he should arrive at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. where his in-processing begins. I've heard that usually takes between 4-6 days and then the real basic training will begin.
Of course I don't know the details but my blog won't end once he leaves, so everyone reading here will learn more along the way - just like I will.
