Dear Friends & Family,
Tonight I am sitting in a rather nice hotel room just across the border in Georgia. People talk funny here, but they seem a lot more friendly than the Chicago-ans I'm used to. Tomorrow I officially report to my first Army training course at Ft. Benning (BOLC II). I have been organizing papers, checking last minute details, but mostly just relaxing since this is going to be my last night of uninterrupted freedom for quite a long time. I know what you are asking. Am I nervous? The answer is no. I'm also not alone down here since I know a few people already here...some in BOLC II with me, some in the Columbus area, and others within driving distance. You can just pray that I keep a good attitude towards the training. I never want to be negative or whiny about the Army. I am incredibly blessed with this job. This is where God wants me to be, and I am at peace because of that.
Amy J. asked me to specifically mention her in this post so here you go Amy (Ann Karl also gets a hello). The only useful information I can give you right now is that I am free on weekends, national holidays, and most nights after 6pm. I'll update my mailing address and all that other jazz as soon as I learn it. Thanks.
