lil hoodlum- He got an hour phone call Sunday (usually it's just 15-20 minutes). His graduation will be May 3-6, 2012 (as of right now). Then on Monday, May 7 he will start his schooling (that will be for 3 months I believe). He can't wait to be home and eat a long "civilian food" meal, take long showers alone, and see everyone. He is hoping to be home around his birthday and said, "Maybe sometime this fall we could hit up that big car show at dollywood.." (Shades of the Past..??)

Thought I would post this for everyone to look at. I don't know how to post pictures, so I'll just post the links. This was an event in town (Mcminnville) that was held to collect money and canned food items for Meals on Wheels. Everyone drove their nicest cars/trucks (old and new). I think they had a pretty good turn out for the first time.. but you can see for yourself

Hey, Brittany. I just now found this thread and saw you were making posts for him. It's good to hear the updates. Tell John we're all proud of him. Make sure he eats plenty of the good home cooked food for us, too.

Yes, Shades of The Past is the big show held in the Dollywood Splash Country parking lot.

68Stepbed- I will tell him that all of you are proud of him. I'm sure if I tell him you said to eat enough food for everyone, he will definitely use that as an excuse to eat more haha.
He finished BEAST this past week. I asked him how his 'camping trip' went and he said, "It was not a camping trip.." and that it was terrible. They ate MRE's the whole time. Inside the MRE's are moisture absorbent packs?? (They say DO NOT EAT on them) He didn't read it & thought it was seasoning so he put it on his food... all week.. he's probably regreting that now.. haha.
All they have to do now is take tests and then he will graduate. YAY! So proud of him. Maybe he will get to have his laptop sometime soon and can talk about trucks with everyone.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Hubscrub- I laughed so hard when he told me that. I miss him too. He sounds a lot more excited now when I get to talk to him. Maybe we can go to a cruise in when he comes home.

Got home last night from Texas. John is now at Wichita Falls, TX for his Tech school. He should get to come home for a week sometime in September. He is glad that basic is over & was happy to see everyone. He enjoyed riding in the car, getting to see San Antonio, walking not marching, eating 'civilian food', etc.. The graduation ceremony was interesting to watch (everything was really). He should get his computer soon so he can talk trucks with all of you haha.

Kudo's to John I know he is brave without even knowing him myself I could hardly stand leaving my truck fro so long it's my pride and joy and thank you Britt for keeping us all updated on his status he's lucky to have a girl like you on his side to enjoy his truck crazy mentality that all of us on here share. so wish him well for us as always we'll be waiting for the return.

[oldblue1968chevy]

[67chevy1series]

tell john that rick said we need some pics..... lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

67chevy1series- lol Okay, I will tell him. I have some pictures but I'm not sure if I am allowed to post them. They have REALLY strict rules and I don't want to get him in trouble.
-Britt

[67chevy1series]

well britt you should be fine as long as there are no profanity in them etc... im sure you know what that means and i wouldnt think you guys would do that. other then that im sure you guys can post em up

[oldblue1968chevy]

67chevy1series- Let me get the 'okay' from John first. I know there are certain things that we are not suppose to put online about them (for safety reasons I guess). So I need to ask him first. But if he says it is okay then I'll get him to tell me how to post pictures lol.

[lil hoodlum]

Tell John from all of us on the forum that we said "congratulations"

I bet he is happy and sad that basic training is finished.

Looks like ya'll were on the river walk in San Antonio.

Good job John!

I am talking to him right now. John said, "Thank you and is anyone on here near Wichita Falls (Texas)."
