Talked with Brandon yesterday, he will not be coming home after graduation, worst yet he will only have a few hours after graduation to visit. If he comes home now he may not be able to come home for Christmas... Good choice.
He sounded good and still pretty excited.. He knows he made the right decision. Can't wait to see him.

Anyone have any idea on how long Graduation lasts? We think Brandon will be coming home with us. From what I can find it looks like Graduation starts around 8am but not sure how long it will last or if we should plan to spend the night and travel home the next day? (it's about a 4-5 hour trip) Any ideas?

Graduation day is getting closer!!!! Looks like Brandon will have a week before he has to report to Pensacola? Not sur eyet if he will have to stay in Great Lakes or will be able to come home?

Things are going good, it hasn't been as bad as evryone has made it out to be. He said if everyone could just get on the same page and be fired up things would go smoother for the whole group. He has been choosen to be one of the leaders in his drill. Pretty cool!!! They just got fitted for his Blues... and yea he says he LOOKS GOOD!!!! He said to tell everyone hi and he loves them... We are still not sure his schedule after graduation, but will keep posted. Tim

We finally got our first letter from Brandon yesterday!!!! The letter is dated the 10th??? He's doing fine and is really excited about the fact that he is really doing something with himself and can't wait till really gets going in the training program. He said to tell everyone hi.... We are so proud of him!!!
