still in Columbia

[blondetaters]

I'll be back to Austin in the morning. I really wish I could stay with John, but he has AIT and also, South Carolina is not a fun place. It's more than that it's not Texas...I can't put my finger on it though

*hugs* to you. Hopefully that 2 months goes by fast.

[blondetaters]

Thanks. I hope it does!

Those pics of you are really cute! And if you keep yourself busy enough you'll find that these next 2 months will fly by! :)

[blondetaters]

Thanks, I hope so, but these past 9-10 weeks didn't pass by very fast :o/ I'm still a little more hopeful that this will pass more quickly though -- especially since we'll be able to have a little more communication. Before, we only were able to write letters and he calld about 4 times during the whole 2-2.5 months for about 5 minutes each time. Ok I'm not making sense...it's 2:15 and I've already been awake for 11.25 hours today. Oy!

11+ hours

[hager]

did you catch a red-eye flight back or something??

Re: 11+ hours

[blondetaters]

Nope...got up at 3 am central time to get to the airport and catch a 6:30 am flight to Houston and then Houston to Austin. I got back here around 11:15 this morning, my roommate picked me up and took me by the apartment, I dropped off my luggage and threw some stuff in the wash and came straight to work. Right now I feel like it's 2 am. I'm soooooo tired that I feel woozy. (I did go to bed last night a little before 7 pm central time though.)

by the way, a friend of mine just recently finished her basic training... but somehow managed to broke an ankle, and stress-fractured both of her legs... anyways... sorry...random story for ya.... point being, basic training IS TOUGH... but i am sure you already knew that from all the stories John told ya!

[blondetaters]

Do you know where she did her basic training and what her MOS is??

And yes...very tough. I don't like thinking about a lot of it, but at least I know they're getting really good training.

[stardustag]

all i know is she is now in Georgia... but that wasn't where basic training is. I got a cool little "hi i am done with my basic training' postcard from her.

[blondetaters]

Ah she's probably at Fort Benning now...
John did his basic at Ft. Jackson (as the post says) and he was in the 2/60th and in D company, so if you talk to her and that sounds familiar, maybe they met!
