I'm shipping out September 10th

I wasn't going to mention it but I am leaving for Fort Jackson, S.C. on the 10th to begin Basic Training. I am leaving behind my wife and 9-year-old son. Please pray for me to be strong, and for them as well.

My MOS is 56M, Chaplain's Assistant, so I guess I will be able to change the "street" preacher moniker soon.

Maybe I will be able to post once I make it to AIT.

Very excited to have this opportunity to serve.

I’m having an early ballot mailed to me so I can vote on Sept. 23rd. I can’t fathom Obama as Commander-In-Chief.

Thank you for serving. Best of luck to you.

And thanks for letting us know. It is nice to hear of FReepers answering the call of duty (in more ways than one!)

Hey Streetpreacher, I don’t know you but I’ll be praying for you.

I went through basic training at Fort Jackson at about the same exact time in the year that you are, and you are hitting the weather just about right. Although the first couple of weeks will be hot, most of the time you are there it shouldn’t be too hot or too cold. Being a gimp myself, stuff like that is important to me ;-)

Good luck! You’ll get out of it what you put in to it. It has been the basis of everything positive that’s happened to me since then(1978). Chaplain’s Assistant is a good MOS if you are devout with a Servant’s Heart and a people person. Whatever happens in basic training, just remember it’ll be over soon, and you just might enjoy it (I did!). Let us know how you’re doing from time-to-time.

You have been added to my Adopt-a-Serviceman list, and my prayers will be that God protect you, and give you inspiration to help your brothers-at-arms come home safely too.

May God bless you and your family.

Thank you for your service.

Help those young-uns around you. Some will freak and want to leave. Let them go. Help the ones who want to stay but may need guidance. Thank You and may God Bless!

hey Street, watch out for those red ants, ok?

I was at Fort Lost in Woods (Ft. Leonard Wood, MO), but I heard stories about those ants many times when I was in the Army.

May the Lord shine His face on you and keep you, my Brother-in-Christ!

Congrats!
Sep. 15 was the big one for me.
Of course it was 20 years ago and I was 18 and single.
Best of luck and best wishes to you and yours from me and mine.
God speed, fair wind and following seas!

Thank you and Godspeed.

The moral support, inspiration, and good words you share can come in handy.
