Just yesterday I arrived back home from my husband's Army Basic Training Graduation. I enjoyed every moment of Family Day and the Graduation Ceremonies. The events awarded me with two days to spend with my husband. Bright Eyes looked so happy to be finished with his training. I am proud to see him accomplish something that he worked so hard for. Bright Eyes also looked amazing as well, let's just say the army did his body some good..... some very good. I honestly have never seen my husband in that kind of shape before. I have seen him skinny, too skinny and I have seen him with a bit more around the hips and thighs than he would like, but this was mostly solid and kinda strange, but a good strange. He did seem a bit guarded at times ,but I prepared myself for that. After 9 weeks of precise training and following orders you not exactly " At Ease" right away. I can assure you however that he is still my Bright Eyes, he may have added a few new characteristics during the last 9 weeks, but overall he is still underneath. We are excited for the next leg of the journey. AIT (Advanced Individualized Training) will start on Tuesday and will last about 16 weeks. He will learn the necessary skills for his MOS (Military Occupation Specialty). Bright Eyes' MOS is 12T Technical Engineer. He will be training to work with the Army Corp of Engineers. He was told that he we should get orders for his first station in about 6 weeks . So in 6 weeks we should know where our first duty station will be. We both thank everyone for their prayers during Basic Training and for continued prayers during AIT.
PS. Forgive me for all of the army abbreviations, but I realized the military world talks in abbreviations, and acronyms and it's just easier for me to do so as well. If I forget to explain one please leave me a comment.
