Little did we know when we sent him off (he was 17) that he had/would be diagnosed with a heart condition. It took us 10 weeks to get him sent home from Ft. Benning! Boot Camp is only 9 weeks. Your tax dollars at work - he was paid the entire time. He just wanted to come home once his dreams were dashed. (He spent 3 days in intensive care.)
Thank you! He's doing well now. His dreams of a military career appear NOT to be, but God has a plan. He's in college now, in an engineering program. Yep, I'm proud.
Very nice picture. I am sure the Lord has something special in store for him. I am sorry, however, that his dreams did not materialize, but, something good will.
Looks like a nice young man. Hopefully he will get well, army ready or not. My then husband is going over seas in february. Missing our 1st year anniversary, but as you know, its the army, its what they love.
