Introducing A1 Christian

We spent a whirlwind 4 days in San Antonio, TX for James' graduation from Basic. It was painfully hot and humid (95 degrees or more), but we were so excited to see James that we struggled through.

James appears to have grown during basic and has gained weight (6'6" and about 175lbs now). It is amazing how much someone can mature and change in 6 weeks, but I have seen it for myself. He is now focused on college and his career. I always knew he would do great things and be successful...and it is all just beginning for him. We are TRULY proud of him.

Now for the pics.......

One of the cleanest bathrooms I have EVER seen.



This is the entry to the sleeping area, yes it was polished daily.


One word...... "Cozy"


No, he didn't fit on this...he said his feet hung over the edge or he could ball up on his side.


Dante' is SO proud of his big brother.


Taking the Enlisted Oath


Marching past the families.
