Well, by now I’ll be in Cape May getting yelled at by Company Commanders as we start our processing week at Basic Training. I got some stuffed pack for the move afterwards, and will finish packing during my 5 days of liberty. Eric will take care of the rest. Eric and I also got our marriage license before I left on Monday, and he will take care of setting up the day and getting us an officiant for our quick civil ceremony during liberty. I picked out my wedding band before leaving, and am looking very forward to marrying him when I get back.
For anyone who wants to keep up with what’s going on with my company, there is actually a website that posts weekly summaries of each camp going through basic training. I expect to be Company W184, but won’t know that for sure until I get there. I do know my graduation date is set for May 13, 2011, so use that to find my company. Posts happen at the end of each week, but you may not get the first update until the end of the 2nd week. The first week is really just about us getting settled, getting our gear, and making sure we are up to snuff medically. The real fun begins on the first full week: Week 2. If you’d like to follow my company’s progress, you can find us at the Training Center Cape May Blog.
This will be the last post I make at least until basic is over. I’ll save the large summary of basic until after I get to my first unit. But don’t worry, I’ll check in with you all when I’m finished so you know I survived!
