Cameron's BCT Graduation


So...He did it. He graduated from Army Basic Combat Training.





Not only did he graduated, but he also was the Soldier Leader of the Cycle for his company. It sounds like that's the best award you can get at basic training. We are so proud of his accomplishments.




He got a certificate and two coins like this one.




Ok. So I know what you're thinking. What's with the glasses?! Yeah, they are government issued glasses. The Army calls them BCG, Birth Control Glasses. No kidding. That's what they call them. Everyone (who has bad sight) has to wear them. But you know, just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean it's right. Those glasses gotta go.

Cameron's mom was kind enough to come with us to SC. She really helped us out a lot by coming. I mean...there's no way I could've taken those two WONDERFUL children to SC by myself. Besides, it really meant a lot to Cameron.



Thursday was the family day and Friday was the graduation. We got to be with him for two days. The kids needed it. I needed it. And most of all, Cameron needed it. We still don't know how long Cameron has to be in VA (now doing music training), but he has his cell and his computer. So I think we'll make it.

Yay for cell phones and computers! We are in week three of air force BMT now. Just can't wait to see him! It was good to see you at Grandma's weekend. Hope you are doing better now! Let me know if you need anyone to talk to or anything at all. Tell Bum I'm proud of him!
