    Roommates

    They march back from the Valley on 24 Aug and have that final (winddown) week of Basic (25-31 Jul) and then they'll move to their Academic year squadron probably on 1 Aug, setup rooms, get class schedules, laptops, books, etc.. As was said, romates are completely dependent on each sqaudron.

    2014 Noon Meal Formation

    Early lunch They marched earlier today to the Noon Meal formation....? Will have to sneek up this weekend to watch. It looks like they are getting an extra hour of sleep, so I think that and a more "normal" routine in this second week has them loking a lot better (more rested) than last week...

    Get first letter from your Basic?

    Letter #3 today.... (sorry) agree with Jackson 1989 -- he said tests were best, because when done, you could shut your eyes. He went to church and said that helped. Intramurals are very good times for them!

    2014 Noon Meal Formation

    Watched the Noon Meal formation again yesterday. I missed my son (looking through the binoculars -- they go by quickly), but saw a HS classmate of his and a cadet we are sponsoring. All are alive and well. Probably a bit tired, but slowly settling into a routine. As my son wrote, "I hate...
