Almost Over

Blake has a few weeks left of training and he's more than ready to move on. Training is still going well. He's not finished with the this phase yet, but as of next week, that hurdle should also be past him. When he messaged us this week, he said that next week he would be MOSQ (fully qualified to perform in his MOS), he would take his last PT test, and would be the senior class. I had to ask what "senior class" was, and he says that his class will be in line as the next graduating class. Sounds like everything is still going very well to this point.

Thanks to everyone who has kept up with this from the start last October. It's been a big lift for him to hear everything that you've been saying and the encouragement you've given. He's very excited with the prospect of moving on from this phase on to his permanent duty station in the coming weeks. With the 10 days leave he has coming right out of training, he's planning on catching a flight to Hawaii to visit some of the men he trained with in Virginia. He's getting such fabulous opportunities. This is all very exciting.

We're coming up on another big test though. He can't tell us anything about the test, but Blake's pretty confident of his skills in this area. He still says he needs your prayers though, so keep them coming. He sounds just great and so positive and up beat. This has been a great thing for him, and he knows it.

Take care and we'll post more when we know more.
