We're in the Army now!

After 14 months we are ready to write a little in our blog. Dave leaves for basic in just a few days and I promised to start updating so everyone would know how he is doing. I guess I should start with a fast recap of the last year and how we got here.....

In June, Dave started thinking about joining the reserves. By July, we had decided that full time Army would be better for us. It took a couple months to get everything ready. He had to get all kinds of paperwork and take the ASFAB as well as a physical. Dave scored a 98/100 on his ASFAB. I knew he would do great. Because of his score he was able to choose any MOS he wanted. He has chosen Intelligence as his first pick, Aviation as his second, and I'm not sure he has a third just yet (but he won't need it because he is smart and determined and will get one of the first 2). In September, he was sworn in and given his info for basic and OCS, March 9th, Ft. Benning, GA. And so we waited for 6 months. In which time I finished with my daycare business and slowly packed up our belongings and Dave continued working at TV 13.

On Monday, Dave will leave to go to MEPS and ships out to GA on Tuesday. I don' have an address yet but when I do I will let everyone know. Also Dave is NOT allowed ANY packages. ONLY letters! PLEASE DO NOT SEND CARE PACKAGES.

In the mean time I will be traveling to my parents in FL by way of IN, KY, and northern FL, visiting my family in those sates.

I hope to give regular updates on Dave and myself so check back often!

It's good to hear from y'all, not that we are especially communicative either. We wish you the best in your new adventures!
