Oh man...sleep, he needs sleep...did he go to medical...many don't in BC...don't want to take a chance of getting trapped there.
I would try as much sleep as they will allow himt...then maybe his body can get to healing. I think he can start to get some OTC's soon. Maybe that will help.
I am going to add that to my prayers tonight. That he gets some much needed rest and that it helps to heal him. Don't tell me his name...God knows who he is!
Delta SUCKS! (Sorry any delta lovers) Mine left from Midway on American.
I and my two other sons drove there at midnight, then back to the Navy Lodge, snoozed, packed, went to O'Hare, got delayed because of bad weather (thank goodness-the lighting and thunder were frightening), made it home to LAX and then drove about an hour more home.
At one point my middle son was sitting on the curb at LAX while we were waiting for the flyaway bus. He said, "We have been to THREE airports today. I am SICK of airports."
Amen, brother.
Oh, I hope he recoops soon. It gets better in "A" school. My son has only had a small cold right in the beginning.
Man, they get "the crud" in BC. Did he have the crud? Mine got it and then got pneumonia. Luckily (LOL) he just ended up SIQ...and on the weekend so he didn't miss a lot. He wasn't passing his run. Gee, I wonder why! He finally did the week before BS. By that time...pink eye had started going through his DIV!! He DID NOT get that thank goodness!
I took advantage of my husbands active duty status before it ended (he was deployed),to try and get a deal...lowered the phone, motorola droid, by $50...but get this, a certain soft drink company has WAY better deals than the GOV...go figure!
We call it the magic phone! Yeah...to bad I can't wave it over the bill and lower the data fee!
But we all love playing with it!
No...luckily they tracked it down right away...but someone from the base had to go to the airport and get it the next day.
It seems kind of dumb...I mean, let's keep all the nice weapons together...they like each other! (there were ten in the group traveling).
