During the 2nd phone call our DD was talking a mile-a-minute & proud of herself that she was not crying this time after hearing our voices (like call #1). As mentioned before (& by others), it is the fastest 30 minutes- not sure why the time does not fly by as quickly when I'm on the elliptical, but that's another story. Having the chance to get to know her detailers before the turnover was a definite highlight (having a chance to ask questions, etc was a great mentoring session).
She mentioned one of the coolest experiences yet had just happened that morning. She was told she had 6, (make that 5!), minutes to get into a certain uniform. Having no idea what is was for, she initially was a little dismayed as she was looking forward to attending church service (loves singing in the choir). She gets to her destination & sees she is participating in raising the colors. She loved every minute and was so grateful to have been selected.
While she had so many 'adventures' to tell us about, the one she spent the most time on was the admiration she felt raising Old Glory. Definitely N*ot college, and her Dad & I (both prior service) thank God for that!
