Dad's Birthday!!

Today was Dad's Birthday.

I ended up calling him and talking to him for a long time about his trip to Virginia and his upcoming trip up here.

It was good to talk to him and he is still sick from his last trip but it doesn't sound too bad, and he sounds excited to come up and visit.


Drill Weekend 19-21

Crappy week.

I was sick on the Tuesday before drill - May 16th,

I did get my Continuing Education completed and got re-certified for both Network Plus and Security Plus though, so that worked out pretty well.

Drill sucked.  It was a MUTA 6 so all of Friday Saturday, and Sunday.

It was pretty cool that Division was up training with us so I got to see lots of old buddies like Noon, Garcia, Hubred, Danielzuk, Perrin, Marko, and Sergeant Major Bartkey.

Braaten got pinned his E-7 so that was pretty cool.   I am worried that it is going to just increase his problems with anxiety and leadership, but he does have a lot of support.  With any luck things will smooth out enough that he gets comfortable with it, and then I think he will do pretty well.   I do still hope he goes Warrant though.

I took the next Monday off, and used that time to collect paperwork and schedule my annulment hearing.  I got all my witnesses lined up and agreed to a date for them to all come up to St. Cloud.  I still don't know how I feel about this.   It really sucks to have to participate in, plan, and execute your own betrayal.
