OKLAHOMA

Took the trip to see my youngest son graduated from basic training last week. It was a moment of joy for me, because I also got to see my two other sons, Andrew and Josh. I have not seen Andrew in over a year (has it been that long?) It was a quick trip for me, but I am glad I went.

This graduation was somewhat different, then my two previous BCT graduation of my two other sons. Matt did not get to walk on the stage, some one forgot to pick him up from his company area. He was told to report to TMC it is short for Troop Medical Clinic the morning of his graduation day, to get clear from his 'profile'. He injured himself while he was doing the road march. We went to his graduation, without seeing him there. It was a disappointment for us, and I am sure Matt was more disappointed as well. We did not wait for the ceremony to be over. We went to see him in the company area. Later on the Company Executive apologized to us for allowing it to happened. I am sorry that you did not get to wlaked on the stage son. I am sure there will be many more opportunity for you to walk on the stage.
