Like alot..

of young men from not so well to do families Nick has bought himself alot of nice things with his, and having a good time. Then he bought the car, and that eats up alot of his cash flow that and stupid Sprint with weird charges on his phone, and never sending a paper bill.. Anyway time is ticking down to graduation, and money is tight, and life happens, so money is tighter. There is a chance he may not make it home before he goes to Korea, and its breaking my heart. I'm not mad, and I won't be if he doesn't make it. I will be sad though. Seems the army doesn't just buy a guys ticket to where he is to go, they will reimburse them, and they might advance it to him, but only from Arizona to Korea, but not to get home, and not from home to a international airport. He can't apply for the advance until orders are in hand and they aren't, His AKO ASK says he is to go to Korea, but his records say projected..Sounds like alot of bull on the armys part, but thats part of goverment I suppose. He is trying to get the money together, so if you got a few seconds, send up a word or two that he is able to figure it out.

I really do need to keep up with this

I wont give you excuses I am sure you know them by now.

Nick has 43 days left of AIT, and I am counting down the days. Hopefully all will go according to plan and he will make it home before he goes to his duty station.
Korea will be a whole new experience for him, and as a parent I worry, but I dont think the worry ever stops.
Nick is now PFC Hall, as he has his year in service under his belt as of the 7th of this month. Congrats Nick!
I promise to try and keep this better updated, or maybe make it a starting page for the forums
I am sure as time approaches for Nick to head to Korea, and at least his first few weeks, that I will be updating the blog more often. Be patient with me. Thanks.
