So... For the first time since February I am updating this blog personally. (Thanks for all the hard work mom) I finally graduated from basic training on friday 20 April 2007. HOOAH! It is so nice to be done with the hardest part. (well maybe not the hardest, but at least the worst) My parents... all four of them, my sister, and my girlfriend came up to see me graduate, and take me out to dinner. It was great. I loved seeing my family after having spent so much time wondering what was going on their lives. I missed them all so much. Friday night they had to drop me back off at the barracks, and I had to sleep there so that I could ship to AIT on Saturday morning. Luckily my AIT is at Fort Jackson so all I had to do was go across base. After I did my inprocessing at AIT I actually got a pass for the weekend!!! My parents left town, but my girlfriend stayed around, and we spent the night in a hotel in downtown Columbia. We went out to eat and have a few beers last night, which was freakin great, especially because I found Shiner Bock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Shiner Bock in SC. Yeah boy! It's now about 0900 and I'm getting ready to go eat a greasy breakfast at the Waffle House. (By the way there are a lot of Waffle Houses here in Columbia) Anywho, just a quick note to wrap up my basic training Blog.
