He called again.. he made it home!
He is sending me pictures.
We talked some about Iraq... he KNOWS he'll be going it is just *when*. He said he meant right after Ranger school... if he does not get into Ranger school he is requesting Airborne Infantry.
They had an exercise where they were in a truck & boom boom boom ambush... he said his squad leader froze... and the drill instructor was yelling at him (squad leader) and Bryan said it all just clicked in and he came off the truck and moved in the direction he was trained to go in.
He commented he worries about stuff ahead of time, but when the time comes he gets in and just does it... just like his mama.
He clarified... he can do 5 pullups, but to go into Rangers min is 20. So we'll see.
Graduation is Feb9th... sounds like he'd like us there... but I do not think we can... but if there is grad from medical training... I think we could swing that... it should be June.
He said the first time they had smoke grenades thrown at them was right after the gassings.... so all but 5 freaked threw down their rifles and ran... incl him! He said they did it over and over and over until NO one ran... plus lots of pushups.
He was in Mc D's in Dallas coming home and a *gang banger* type was standing near him and a man came in with about an 8yo boy... and looked at them both and told his son if you ever dress like THAT *gb* I'll kick your .... I want you to dress like THAT pointing at Bryan... made him feel good!
Again he is just sounding so PUMPED! I am so thrilled for him. |
