Betsy - the Army has a Family Day on Weds which begins at 9 (short ceremony); and at the end of it the U.S Army's newest Soldiers will come running out of a wooded area amongst red, white and blue smoke to take their formation on the field and then family is dismissed to join them.  We are given the entire day to spend on the ground of Fort Jackson, touring, eating and catching up; the evening is a hosted dinner where everyone gets to meet their Soldiers command - so that is Day 1.  Day 2 is graduation - very similar to Navy, but outside.  Drew will then be processed out and released to me.  We can spend the day and evening in Columbia and then Friday are charged with transporting him to Fort Lee in Virginia.  Once there, there is a strong possibility that Command will grant him a weekend leave.  So if this happens we get a fair amount of time.  We will see :-)

I just love that we all can come back here to share to our joys and sadness with each other. ((Hugs)) to all of you.
Rose, thank you. Trust me, he thought it was weird to bring it, but it sure did make me happy. :)
Lori, Wow, I am so excited for you! I bet you can't wait to get your arms around your baby. How long much time will you get to spend with Drew?
Patti, I am really enjoying it too.

Thanks Ladies! - It nice to be missed

Lori - Congrats to you on the engagement.  Labor Day - so soon how exciting, S & K have not set a date yet, this phase of school for S will end in October so possibly then, currently the Hold is 8 Months to start the next phase and he would have to stay in SC so it really is up in the air

Rose - thanks for your comment - i do deserve it ~ LOL , so hard being far away and not alot of communication.

Betsy - look forward to seeing you in PIR 08/26 groups, Its always great for the newbies to have a veteran mom giving them wisdom, courage and support.

Cakes!  I miss you :-)  Looks like we both have future daughter in laws!  Ash and Adam are getting married Labor Day weekend - THIS YEAR!  Holy Moly!  Glad S is doing well and you grab that mother / son time!  You brought him into this word so you have every right to be selfish!  :-)  Good luck to your nephew!  Drew graduates from Army BCT 2 weeks from today; I leave for SC a week from this Sunday and I can hard wait.  It will have been 10 weeks since I've seen him and have only had 1 3 min. phone call and one 15 min. phone call.  His letters have been awesome though; priceless really!!

Patti, Wow! Congratulations on your son's upcoming wedding.  You deserve that mommy/son weekend.  Woohoo for your nephew!  If you come on the 8/26 PIR group, you may see me on there.  I've been helping on the dep groups and PIR groups since my A graduated.  

My A finally started his A school last Friday.  He said he likes it a lot better than the ATI training, so things do happen for a good reason and result.  (He is now CTT).  I'm just so glad that he is finally busy again.  :)

These are recent pictures of my sailor.  I made him bring his dress whites to the hotel, so I could see him in those.  :)
