This is post #100! Im going to try to give everyone a little update. If you dont already know, Rj came home on Jan 1st!
We went to a FRG meeting (Family Readiness Group) last night. It was required of all married soldiers to attend and spouces were invited. I will honestly admit that i didnt do much paying attention because they gave us a handout when we walked in with all the info on it and there was this adorable little redheaded 1yr old next to me who i played with most of the time. But this is the information i DID manage to hear..
- They will be doing day training for the next 3 months
- They have multiple 4day weekends comming up as to provide as much time with there family as possible..
- In May-ish they will begin doing night training and weekend trips
- We should get summer leave sometime in July-Aug.
- Starting September they will have very little time off as they will begin training for the next deployment
- WE DONT KNOW WHEN THE NEXT DEPLOYMENT WILL BE!
- I vollenteered and became a POC (Point Of Contact) which i am really looking forward to!! A POC is a person who calls people on there list (given to them by the FRG leader) and makes sure everything is going well, see if they need anything, make sure all information is up-to-date, and shares information about deployments, R&R time, and welcome home ceremonies...While Rj was deployed my POC Sam called me multiple times, took me to dinner so we could chat, and told me which flight he was on when he was comming home.
Conversation between Rj and I
Me "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR EXTRA BEDROOM!??? It was spotless!!"
Rj "The Army did it"
Let me just show you what exactly "the army" did to our extra bedroom!
Thats all for now but im sure over the next year we will update every few weeks/months with info on the training hes doing...
