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.

Good wishes to you. I’m sure you come to “love” Drag Ass Hill especially when you low crawl and duck walk up and down it. I did my basic in A-4-1 right next to Drag Ass Hill. Roll with the punches, keep a good sense of humor and don’t let the Drill Sergeants see you laugh at them! God Speed.

A simple thank you seems so very little in return for the sacrifice you and your family are making. Our family has added you to our prayer list. I also asked my daughter - who is my guardian angel - to be yours too.

Congrats Streetpreacher.

They must have changed MOS designations....used to be 71M in the recent past.

I had some wonderful Chaplain Assistants over the years. Your job is to bring your chaplain back alive. You are the protection, and he is the preacher. You have a weapon, and he doesn’t.

There are freepers who maintain prayer lists for the military and who keep in touch via email. I’ll pray for you. There are a lot of good preaching opportunities in the military.
