Update...

Adam got the call that we have been waiting for...

He will be flying out to Texas for boot camp on Aoril 7th; he will be going in as an Missile and Space Systems Electronics Maintenance Apprentice (ALCM). The Tech school for that is also in Texas, I am not sure how long it is but we will get exact dates on that when he graduates from Basic Training (boot camp). This was one of the jobs that he originally signed up for which is wonderful and this one is one of the careers that also has a training program where it would lead to a good civilian career as well when and if he decides to get out. The only thing that I could tell from reading the job description online was this is a career that does not deploy much and you stay in one area for longer, which is a plus as far as raising the kids goes and a good opportunity to continue getting college credits. So, needless to say we are very excited that the time has finally come and look forward to taking the first HUGE step in our little adventure!!

The only downside, I must say, is of course that Adam will most likely not be there when Riley is born and I will not be able to fly out and see him graduate either, but all we can do is look at the positive side and deal with each day as it comes our way. Flying stipulations limit me flying more than 39 weeks pregnant and a newborn baby under 2 weeks old, so ultimately it would be ideal if Adam had a one week window after boot camp before tech school where he might be able to fly home, but hence why there are camcorders and cameras. We will keep you posted!!!!
