This morning Richard called to let me know that it has begun, the call of the Army. Time to get that green duffel, wait it has to be a suit case(I am so used to him traveling with his duffel) down and packed so that he can travel. He has one more class to do before he is completely qualified in his new MOS for this unit.
He has been in the Reserves for the past 7 years, with one more left on his original contract, he will more than likely renew his contract as soon as he's able too.
Anyway we've known since November's Drill or perhaps it was December's, that the unit would be heading over to somewhere in the middle east. So back to today, he calls into the unit to get an update on this class that he still needs and the Sgt said that he's all set to go on 5 April for the month.
We are okay with all of this as this is something that when he originally went to do we were hoping for full time/Regular Army. But because of some miss information he wasn't able to, add to the lack of units that know what they are doing we are still in the Reserves.
In some respects I would love to go full time Army so that we could all be together as a family on a much more regular basis, but then the part of me that really enjoys living out here in the middle of nowhere, where for the most part I am not bothered says what are you crazy???
But then the part where-like right now my little sister is leaving tomorrow for Germany, says leave it all behind and lets go!!!!! Oh my goodness the homeschooling adventure that we could have over in Europe, wow the thoughts just make me all giddy inside. But for now that is not something that we are able to do. Perhaps in the next year or something.
No matter what happens with the Army, we are thankful to the Lord for all he provides us with and we will continue to praise him.
