This moment is bitter sweet . . . I am truly excited for Sam's new journey, but at the same time I am able to count on ONE HAND how many nights I have been away from him in the last 2 1/2 years (Four for anyone of you asking). And I know he is 19 years old, but for me it is like having separation anxiety for parents who have a new baby. I found out on Tuesday (Nov. 1st) night that he was enlisting Thursday (Nov. 3rd) afternoon . . . I wanted to strangle him, but what could I do I had already told him to sh!t or get off the pot with his life.
Sam is scheduled to ship out on February 13th, 2012 - and I am forewarning anyone and everyone it will not be a good day! He will be completing his basic training in Fort Jackson So Carolina and completing AIT at Fort Lee, Virginia. His MOS is a 91-Echo and in civilian terms a machinist.
Micah and I are very proud of you, Sam and are looking forward to seeing you at graduation in May 2012 from basic training.
