WE got to talk to Billy last night for a few minutes, he starts the Corporals Course the week after Nikky's wedding, he was promoted back in March but didn't have time to take the course. It's a requirement to be able to move up to Sargent...that would be nice. He works so hard & really enjoys mentoring the Junior Marines.
He's scheduled to take a combat first aid course, not crazy about that one :/ after that he begins combat preparedness. He is scheduled to go to Florida after the Cpl's course for some training....do you think if I wrote a letter to say oh, Mr. President they would let him become a secretary to someone??? No, wishful thinking, I know!
He & Katrina are still working out the travel details and if all goes according to plans she will be able to attend Nikky's wedding. That would be so nice if she was able too, we have been corresponding back and forth for just about a little over a year now and when ever they are together they call and we get to talk to her! Very sweet girl. She's from Alaska, all of her family lives there in a tiny little village...she's stationed in Washington, DC. They take turns traveling to one another. OH to be young again...
Well, my furry friend needs a potty break.
Until tomorrow, Be Safe & God Bless ~ oh before I go, more prayers have been answered, Julie's Justin has moved back to Camp Leatherneck...Thank you, Lord!!! Not much longer now & he'll be BOOTS ON US SOIL!!!
Julie, YAHOOOOOOO!!!!! RAH MMS
