I promised to keep y'all updated....so here's an update on my 2LT.

He was supposed to come here in mid-November if he completed the Ranger School course, but I got an email yesterday telling me that something happened.

Out of a class of 260 on Day 1, only 90 remained the following week because so many of them suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration. He survived the first two weeks and then he dropped the course because he too became a victim of extreme heat exhaustion.

So...I got a phone call from him at 4AM telling me that he's okay now and he's off to Airborne school. Airborne school only lasts 3 weeks and he'll be here in late September/early October now.

I was sorry to see him dropped from the course because I know how much it meant to him--but I'm kinda glad that he's going to be here a month early.
