Thomas update

We've received two letters from Thomas in the last two weeks and he is doing really well at boot camp - he's a little over halfway through. They took his wisdom teeth out, which if you know the military, they only use local anesthetic meaning he was awake for it the entire time - YUCK! But he made it through and only had to spend two days in sick-call heavily medicated with Vicodin, which allowed him to catch up on some much needed sleep! After many discussions between the family, we finally decided that I will be the only one to go up and see Thomas' graduation. We found out recently that his division is labeled as a "grad & go" class, which means that after the graduation ceremony he will literally only have 1 hour to spend with family before he will be in route to the airport and need leave for A-School in Pensacola, FL. The original plan was for all of us to meet mom and dad up there and make a vacation out of it, but now with this news it would just be too much of an ordeal for all of us to trapse up there, so it will just be me and I'll meet my mom and dad up there in Great Lakes, IL.
Anyways, I've included a link to a video that will give everyone a good idea of what Thomas' future career will be in the Navy - Air Ordinance - IYAOYAS ("If You Ain't Ordinance You Ain't Shit") More updates to come later...Enjoy!
