My weekly summary posts have probably come to an end. Last week marked the end of CIMT and the learning phases of CH-BOLC have begun. I am not upset CIMT is over, but I did enjoy the first 4 weeks of CHBOLC. Prior to 3 June, I had ZERO experience with the Army. I needed CIMT and am proud of our class for making it through the ruck marches and acclimating into a new society.
Despite the death-by-power-point aspect of Phases 1-3, I am quite excited about the learning part of CHBOLC. For the next two weeks we will focus on the staff position aspect of the Army. This involves learning about the leadership levels of battalions, brigades and so forth. All should be very informative.
My important note about this past week: I GOT TO GO HOME. I have missed my family so much, and it was great to spend a day and a half holding, hugging and kissing them. Little man did great with having his daddy home and baby doll actually seemed to know who I was. She even had a hard time eating when I was in the room talking. She couldn’t take her eyes off me and I was the same with her. She is BEAUTIFUL.
Seeing My Love was priceless. It is safe to say that our relationship and love for one another has grown over the past month and we pray it continues to do so. We hope to see each other again at the end of July. I am counting down the days! God is so good.

Sounds like you are into a new phase. It was good talking to you. We have arrived safely and had a great couple of days. Got a couple of shirts for you. We will get a few more things when we return next week. Probably more “friendlies” stuff for little man and baby doll.
Keep your head up and work hard. There is a lot to learn, but I know you are up to it.

I love the picture of you and the kids. You look like you have dropped a little bit more weight. I’m sure it is all the running. Mom and Dad said the trip went well. I’m happy to hear they might be getting to come and see you in the next couple of weeks. I wish I could join them for the trip. I miss you and love you. Keep your eyes on the the final goal and the time will fly. If you need anything please call. Love you
