Good luck to Michael and congrats on him training other soldiers--he must really know his stuff for them to have noticed and want him to train others. It'll look very good for promotions also.  I hope it's great news this weekend for his EIB!  Thanks to Michael for his service, and for looking out for our other troops. _________________ Kat WWife of 20 years to Tim, Vet, 63Y, USAMom of Stephany, 19, BCT Ft. Sill: 2/10-4/10, AIT Ft.

He loves the training, but not crazy about Ft Knox. He is set to go to designated marksman school. He has been told when he makes E 3, they will grant his request to go to airborne and RIP(now RASP). By then the SGT's tell him they will be counting down the last 120 days before they deploy. But they do not had any warning orders yet.
