Hello Everyone!! 2 phone calls in 2 days from travis from basic training in OK.
He passed his rifle test yesterday...AND was 1 of 10 guys out of 267 that got expert markmanship..I hope that's right.
BUT anyways..he will get a special badge and special recognition at his graduation on halloween.. YEAH!!!!!! I'm so happy...

AND then tonight..he calls and he passed his "physical" part of everything...the pushups, the 2 mile run, and whatever else..
he was really worried about the 2 mile run in under 15 minutes I think it was... he was really tired.. BUT in a great mood...

He sent haley a pkg ..got it today for her birthday next week... he says..did she open it yet..and i"m like no.. dont' you want me to keep
it for her birthday..he says.. no have her open it now... so she opens it... and she was so happy...but I broke down crying..OMG...
It was so emotional for me... it says.. my brother is in the ARMY protecting all of us... WAH WAH WAH.. .wasn't that the sweetest thing..
ok..deep breathe.... I'm like SO Hyped tonight....I'm like happy, sad..happy sad...I need medicine...LOL BUT really...I'm so happy for him
and yes..I am soooo proud of him. After all of the begging him not to do this...HE seems like this is what he really wants to do!! AND he's
doing so well with it all....

SOOOOOO my friends...thanks for listening to me...and letting me to let this all out... I'm so excited about it all...and his phone call..just made my night!!!!
AND thank you for those that sent calling cards...that really meant so much... AND THAT's How he called me tonight!! so thank you..thank you..thank you!! 1|1|I'm so proud of him|angNC|memawang@embarqmail.com|21:29:40|09/25/2008|

And such an honor for Travis....my brother was 82nd Airborne for 10 years and is still in....and my other brother was flight line....so I know how much badges and medals mean to the guys...GREAT JOB...

And the shirt is a keepsake.....I still have the shirt my brother got me that said My Brother is a Medic in the ARMY from twelve years ago....

Thanks for sharing Proud Mama!!! 5|1|Happy for you, Shelly : )|Mackiesmudder|Mackiesmudder@aol.com|02:21:47|09/26/2008|

I found out once I accepted that is what my son was going to do everything fell in place and I was so much better with it. I do miss him so much he is in Iraq will come home for a short leave and then to Afghanistan for awhile so I feel your pain at times. I bet you can hardly wait for graduation!
