Rj and i started the day in the worst possible way. NEITHER of us wanted to get up...AT ALL, we knew what was going to happen and we werent looking forward to it. After he went to 1st formation to get a head count he got me outta bed and made me get ready. Oh man, that was the hardest. Im sure you could have cut the tension with a knife. Rj was very hyped and i was stressed and he only made me run home 2-ish times to get stuff (including my mother)
Rj got on the bus at about 11 this morning. He then went to the Alexandria, La airport where they sat in an airplane hanger, played ps2's, shot pool, and ate food til 3pm. Then he got on a GINORMOUS plane (seat pattern is window3-5-3window). Rj flew to Maine where they sat in the airport for about 3 hours. Probly the sweetest thing ever, there were some people taking pictures of all the troops and they posted them on a website and gave all the soliders cards with the web address--added below). Also, as they were getting off the plane other passengers in the airport lined up to shake their hands as the soliders walked by, what respect. After Maine they will be flying to Germany then to Kuwait. After that we dont know when he will be arriving to the place he will be 'stationed' at. Could be 2 days to 2 weeks.
I will put his new address on the blog as soon as i know it. Probly about 2 weeks or so.
