Today was a good day.
We are about one month away from graduation (God willing), over the halfway point, and suddenly the SEIP participants have figured out where the phones are.
That's right.
9 minutes and 58 seconds of uninterrupted (except by static from the ancient pay phone) conversational bliss. Spc. McFlute also talked to her mother today.
There are still a number of things that have to happen, including the dreaded PT test in a couple of weeks, but at least things are happening now!
This week Spc. McFlute qualified on her M16A2, which means now she will move on to grenades, Anti-Tank guns, and the 50 caliber machine gun (the thing that is mounted on the back of the Hummer in Halo). Color me jealous!
Spc. McFlute has confirmed that she is indeed happy and healthy and that her blisters are healing/have healed. There are several long marches in the next few weeks so that is welcome news. Additionally, Spc. McFlute's roommates have shown themselves to be very encouraging to each other, which is an answer to prayer. She says that many of the female rooms are not as fortunate as her room.
This is a quick one, because there is nothing to complain about today.
I will leave you with this question:
Why were the first 25 years of life without my wife so much easier than the last 6 weeks?
