So I haven't posted in awhile... I blame it on laziness. Well, not too much has been blog-worthy lately either...
However, I did get to go to Peter's Ranger School graduation last Friday. I am so proud of him, he was a first time go, which happens to a very slim percentage of students. Marty, alas, will be staying at Ranger School a bit longer... Which is not uncommon, and it means I get to go to another Ranger School graduation in August. There is a pretty cool demonstration of what Rangers do before the graduation ceremony, to include detonation of explosives, and I love to see things get blown up... Ha-ha.
So, Peter is now done with TRADOC, and will be off to Ft. Campbell soon. Marty will also be stationed at Ft. Campbell when he graduates in August. I think it is an excellent coincidence that I happened to get to see my two favorite ROTC buddies for so long here at Ft Benning, and that I will get to see them again whenever I venture out to Ft. Campbell...
For the Fourth, Leah, Jim, Andy and myself barbecued hamburgers and steaks out by the pool and drank beer. It was a nice, chill afternoon and the pool is always an awesome place to hang out here. Later on in the evening, Leah and I went to Callaway Gardens to see the fireworks. I was excited, it has been three years since I have seen fireworks on the Fourth of July...
Today, I have just been playing around on the internet, watching Jinx be cute laying out on the porch, and getting ready to do laundry... I was too lazy to wash my whites last week, so I went to work in my BDUs last weekend, and everyone was confused, especially one of the doctors that had never seen me in them before. He actually commented that he wasn't sure if I even owned a set of BDUs... Guess I had better wash my whites so the whole floor doesn't descend into turmoil over me working in my BDUs... Ha-ha.
I guess I should also mention that things are still going well with the boy... We have been dating for a couple of months now and continue to enjoy each others' company. He has been pretty busy with school and scuba lately, but we still manage to see each other a few times a week for dinner or coffee. Overall, I would be hard-pressed to complain... ;)
Well, I am off to do something productive with the rest of my day!
66H out...
