I do miss her very much. At the same time I'm very happy for her. 

She was glowing with pride and confidence!

She is back at training now, we'll see her soon at the end of the month for her basic graduation.

 

You can just tell she is going to do great!

I feel ya. Got to see all 3 of the boys but for only a couple days each during this break.

John, we hope that fracture heals completely and she has no more problems with it.  Also, glad she looks like her mother.

I see a lot of dad in there...

 

So happy for y'all that she was able to get home over Christmas, even while in basic.  Do I understand from your post that you will be trekking to the east coast for her graduation?

Safe travels!

Great looking pair of soldiers, there. You can pass the baton, Dad. It'll be in good hands.

I am so happy for the Morris’ family!

You both look very happy there.

Appears I have joined an elite club Gunny.

Yep, should be the last week of this month. I put in for vacation at my day job and it was approved yesterday, now we are only waiting for the final word that she'll graduate before we purchase airline tickets.

Thanks Gene. She is very proud of herself, and ready to move on to AIT for her MOS school, I love seeing her so motivated.

Thanks Al, we are pretty happy, in that image though in the back of mind, I was thinking, man we only have two weeks with her, but I quickly got rid of those thoughts and just enjoyed the time we had together.

Oddly I just got truck back from my friend. He left me a full tank of gas. Should get you to there and back.

Best things you can give them ------- roots and wings.

 

Show them the difference between right and wrong -- they actually do pay attention growing up and copy what they've been exposed to.

 

And hope they choose the right path.

 

Good Job!!

John, my current cell phone is ready for an upgrade, it's an Android, I am seriously considering the Iphone for the fantastic Facetime capability, our daughter used Apple, so in order for it to work wonderfully, I am seriously considering a Iphone like she has. Great suggestion sir!

Okay I will bite what is it??  All 3 kids I have in college / academy use Facebook Messenger.  Kyle had to tell me how to access it, figure out my password (I really don't remember setting this up to begin with) and finally install it on my phone or else they might get a reply when I opened it on the laptop. (Might take awhile)

 

 

Facetime is the common man's video conferencing.  You can see the person in real time while you're talking to them.  Once you have the App it's just a click of a button.  Great to keep in contact and see the grandkids.  They actually know you even if you don't get to visit them a couple times a year.
