On to the Next Phase

Blake passed his test. He's having a blast with this training now as it's not as much lecture and facts as it is practice doing what he's going to be doing while he's in the Army. Now, he's started the next phase now, and is excited at what he will be learning.

Don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but he finally got his glasses. What is it? Almost 7 months. It wasn't until he got to Virginia that they finally gave them to him, and that was after a whole new series of eye tests and everything else. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Blake, always thinking, has advised us to come up before the graduation because he'll have more time to visit with us if we don't wait till the actual graduation. Seems he would get the whole weekend off if we came up early, whereas he would only get a few hours the day before graduation if we waited to come up then. We'll have to take a look at everything and see how we can do it, but it sounds fine with us at this point.

Well, there's not much else. The passing grade on the last test was the big news. Now, he says once he passes this test, he'll be certified as trained, so a lot of the pressure will be off him. That'll be great!

Thanks for keeping up with all of this. I know Blake appreciates it, and we do, too.

Till later...
