The boy is anyway. Did I mention the fact that the Marine had graduated his MOS school? Hell, I can't remember what I post from one day to the next sometimes. He got here last Friday and doesn't have to head back until the 21st, at which point the bus will take him back to Camp LeJeune and then the Marine Corps flies him out to Twenty-Nine Palms, California where he will most likely be based for the next couple of years. It also means that he won't be coming home quite as often. It's a bit more expensive to fly home from the west coast than it is to take a bus from North Carolina.
Hopefully he will continue to post here on occasion and we do talk to him every couple of days on the phone as well, which is nice.
Doesn't look like he's heading to Afghanistan or Iraq any time soon. As much as he'd like to go, I breathed a sigh of relief as a parent when I heard that.
The wife's birthday is this coming Friday and the Marine's is the 26th. Since he won't be here for his, we are going out tonight to the Kobe Steakhouse for a birthday celebration. Guess that means I need to get out of the bathrobe and actually put some clothes on at some point soon :)
