Long time, no post. Just remember, no news is good news.
Spc. McFlute is 15 days from graduation. 14 days from Family Day. 13 days from DBFD (day before Family Day). 12 days from...
Spc. McFlute continues to spread cheer and encouragement everywhere she goes and to be a light in a fairly dreary place. In fact, I am told (by Spc. McFlute, no less) that at a recent "Kumbaya Session" her peers expressed appreciating for her good attitude and her sticktoitiveness (not a word). When pressed for a complaint the best they could muster was "You don't swear enough, #*^$%#@."
Monday, Spc. McFlute brought the final PT Test (FPTT for you military types) to its knees. By to its knees, I mean to say that she passed and not by the skin of her teeth. What a relief to have that behind her! Her last big obstacle will be "Victory Forge." I expect this to last from Saturday to Friday. Essentially, Victory Forge is a lot of running around in the woods shooting things, with a few obstacle courses and some ambushes thrown in for good measure.
As I understand it (always dangerous...sometimes I think things would run more smoothly if the folks at Fort Relaxin understood the running of the program the same way I do) , the final few days will be full of paperwork and anticipation.
Spc. McFlute constantly asks me to pass along her gratitude for the torrent of cards and letters she continues to recieve and for the thoughts and prayers that she knows are thought and said on her behalf. The support of friends and family has made this experience bearable for both of us.
