I'm writing this from Ft Jackson, SC. This post is going to give you a brief update over the last few days. I'll try to post some about the Ft in another post. Last Friday, we left Kentucky at noon. Friday night and Saturday were spent with my extended family (my grandparents' children, g-children, etc.). This is the largest gathering we've had since my grandmother's funeral. On Sunday, the church I grew up in had a commissioning service. As part of the service, I took my oath to enter the Army. The retired Navy captain that administered the oath had taken his 52 years ago to the day. He was my neighbor growing up.
Monday was spent showing Emily the state capital and my alma mater. Tuesday, we spent visiting a good friend of mine from MC. I played quite possibly the ugliest round of golf in history that day. The next day, I played golf with Stan. Thursday, we packed and had dinner with Robert & Julie. On Friday, Em and I stayed in Birmingham with some friends. Today, we went our separate directions. She went to TN to visit family. I came to Ft. Jackson. I spent the first 30 minutes of the trip crying. I honestly have no idea when I last cried.
There are pictures from my comissionign service in my photo albums.
