Yes Sir, thank you Sir


We all had a wonderful time in Texas while we visited Richard. It was really fun to see where he has been living and what he's been doing. It was kind of strange though to see him marching around and being so professional (although I did get used to that fairly quickly). We are so proud of him! He has definitely grown a lot over the last few weeks; I think we all have. It's funny to hear him be so polite; not that he was very rude before. He is just that much more polite now, lol. Walking around base with him is different because of all the saluting and acknowledgement that he has to do. If he passes an officer he is required to verbally and visually acknowledge them. And every time we go inside from outside he has to take off his hat and then like wise on the way out. Sometimes he'd forget and then when he realized it, he would freak me out because he totally stop whatever he was doing and make sure he put his hat on really quickly. I'm still getting used to that. Anyways, he got laodmaster as his job. I guess he'll be staying in San Antonio, TX for a few more weeks for his Enlisted Aircrew Undergraduate Courses and then he'll precede to Florida for about a week for his Water Survival-Parachuting Courses. After that he'll be going to Washington State for about two weeks for his Combat Survival Course where he'll spend a few days in a POW cam. We are not sure of the actual dates yet. After Washington he should go to either Altus AFB in Oklahoma or Little Rock AFB, near Jackson Arkansas. Not sure how long he'll be there either. Hopefully when he goes to one of those bases, Steven and I can move with him while he finishes up tech school. Then he'll get a permanent station assignment and we'll all be moving wherever they tell us to. Richard is hoping to have more information and actual dates sometime in the next few weeks.
