Today Anthony reported to his recruiting office at 11 AM. Tonight he will be staying in a Hotel at Ft. Jackson in South Carolina. Tomorrow morning he will get up and go to this medical exam and then board a bus bound for Ft. Benning Georgia. The first few days he will spend in a reception batallion and after that he will begin his training. Saying goodbye was hard to do, but we all managed to keep our spirits up so Anthony doesn't have any worries going into this. Me, Scarlett, Jessica and Mom were there to watch him off. Shortly after Anthony's bus drove away his "Papa" showed up, and had just missed him. Thankfully we were able to reach him by phone so that he could tell him goodbye. Anthony has sent me a few text messages over the course of the day to tell me that he's doing alright and is excited for tomorrow. He also met a few fello 68W's that will be going with him to AIT in Texas to become a Health Care Specialist. He said that he is getting along with the new people that he has met and is anxious to arrive in Georgia. I know that he will soon have no access to his phone and I am not looking forward to that! I like beaing able to know what's going on with him. I am anxious to receive my first letter from him and already prepared to go to his graduation! I know he is going to do wonderfully.
Psalm 9:9
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."
