We had a great visit with Kevin today, Mother's Day! We were able to meet with him from 2:30-5:00. We had to sign in and then they would call the cadet out. Big hugs! I miss that kid.
He gave us a schedule of his activities.
4:50 AM out of bed. Shave, teeth, and waiting for PT to start at 6:00.
PT starts, They run 6 miles.
7:00 Breakfast- eggs, hash browns, oatmeal, sasauge, fruit
Shower in the Tree Of Life. Meaning 6 to a shower. And anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes.
Dress in BDU's. Sweatshirt, blue pants, and boots.
9:30-11:30 Leave for Jobs. Kevin is working in a warehouse for Napa Auto. He says it is boring. But they do get credit for working. No pay, but credit.
12:00 lunch
After lunch is school. He is taking 4 classes. Science, Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, work experience, PT counts as PE.
6:30 Dinner
After dinner is homework, reading, letter writing.
On weekends they get to do community service. And they have gotten to go on the repelling tower. They also went out and saw a bunch of military airplanes. Bryce Weight was there guarding the planes. Kevin says he would like a job like that.
His platoon got a new leader who is really hard core. The boys were talking and he took them out and made them do pushups, sit ups, and leg lifts in the mud. Kevin said they were totally dirty and their clothes have never been the same again.
Thanks to everyone that has been writing him. He really appreciates the letters. They are getting him through.
I am so proud of Kevin.
Heard from my other boys today too! And my daughter-in-laws have been wonderful on this Mother's Day!
