Any idea what The Boy will be doing next?
He graduates 8/28, then he has 10 days leave, then he reports to the School of Infantry at Camp Lejeune NC. After two months of that, he'll get his first duty assignment, nobody knows where yet, but I guess we'll find out in due course.
We suddenly got a spate of letters from him -- he got the company high rifle score and was very proud of that (for that matter so are we). He didn't remember to send us the graduation packet, though, so we'll have to stand in line at the gate for a vehicle pass . . . . oh, well.
The Girl just left Camp Lejeune last Friday . . . . she was a summer intern for a civilian contractor that is doing GIS mapping and a biodiversity study for the USMC (she's a bio major). So their paths won't cross. We visited the parents down in coastal GA so they could see her (they'll see the Boy at graduation) and we took her back to college today. Her room is a hoot -- up in the attic of a dormitory, with the dormer window down a narrow little tunnel (that will just fit her bed). She seems to like it though.
