A Soldier!!! I'm gonna have to learn to say HOO-AH!!!







Our Number one, number one son is completing basic training this week at Ft. Jackson, SC. His follow on assignment for Advanced Infantry Training, (AIT) is at Redstone arsenal in Alabama. His pretty wife, OUR Number one only Daughter-in-law is on her way out to his graduation, this Thursday and Friday. Life getting in the way as usual precluded me from attending, to my chagrin and disappointment. I did get to talk to him Sunday when he called. He apparently won an Eagle pass for on post for having the best pt score and generally being an excellent example of a recruit.
We've been able to follow him on Facebook because of the training command allowing a photographer to follow their training and post pictures of the different platoons as they progressed. If I can figure out how to link it at the end of this I will. We have therefor been able to find him in pictures as Echo company (the Punishers) have worked their way from the NBC chamber and tear gas- through victory forge, the last 4 day field exercise before graduation. To anyone who reads this....This is my son the Soldier. Jessica's Husband Thomas and Felix's Father but my Son. (OK Sharon can claim him too.)
OK i can't figure out a hyper link to his basic training but I'm sure you can find it by searching for above, 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment
Well done Travis!!
Not to bad for a Daddy spot, lol
