Received a small letter from Trevor today, which listed his Company's website. It can be found here

It says that photos will be updated every training cycle, so I'm hoping they hold true to that.

If you click on the "Basic Combat Training" link, it will take you to the description of the Phases Trevor will be going through. He's already gone through Reception, and will be in Red Phase until the third week. The third to sixth week is White Phase, and the final 3 weeks are Blue Phase.

That's it for now. If his platoon earns it, he might get his phone on Sunday. Fingers crossed!!

What could be better than finding Shiner Bock beer in the middle of Podunk, Ohio??

A phone call from Trevor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YAY!!! I received an address for him today. I have already sent an email to family, but if you would like to write him an encouraging letter, or just to say hi, let me know and i'll share the address!! 


He sounded very very tired, but really wanted to know what all was happening on the home front. I hope I didn't bore him, it seemed like it went by so fast! He said that he should be calling Sunday, but I know from personal experiance that if the platoon doesn't behave, they all suffer. And the first thing to go are phone calls. Boo!! 


More to come as the letters and phone calls start coming in!!

It's 2 in the Morning...

and poor Trevor was just getting into Fort Leonard Wood. It was literally a 30 second conversation, basically telling me that he got in safely and that he'd be talking to me soon. I wasn't given an address, but once that comes along I will let everyone know!

That's all for now!

Well, Today's the Big Day!

Today is the day Trevor officially leaves for Basic Training. I've talked to him twice, and we've been texting throughout the morning as well. He is done with his last physical, and is basically waiting for everyone else to get done with theirs, so that they can shuttle off to the airport. From there, he will be flown to Missouri [I don't know the exact city] and will take a bus to Fort Leonard Wood. These first few days are called "Reception", where he will complete paperwork, get shots and another physical. Technically, Week One starts on 21 February. Basic Training will last 9 weeks, and if I looked at the calendar correctly, his tentative graduation date will be 23 April.

That's all I've got for now, as I'm updated I will continue to post. Thanks for checking in!

On a Kara related note, she does not like bananas.
