Received this text from my Paratrooper yesterday morning.
The US ARMY and going to college are a lot alike. Both places make you sit through 3 hours of bullsh__ for 15 minutes of useful information!
This may explain why he dropped out of college after a year!

WOW! Has it Been That Long
I can't believe it's been that long since I posted. There has been so much going on at my house. Jacob's sister is pregnant. This is number five and will complete our basketball team. WalMart has kept me busy working crazy schedules and I have been baby sitting the boys while mom takes the girls to ballet. But, enough about me and a little about my Paratrooper.
I got a text message on Saturday saying he would be coming home from Haiti on Tuesday. A day I had to work of course so I couldn't go down. No message until late Tuesday night saying maybe within 24 hours. All day Wednesday until late last night with a be at Pope around 2300 hours Thursday night. Now if you remember we went through this getting him and his unit out of the country and to Haiti. I think it took about 10 days. My reply to his latest text was. Text me when the wheels are up on the plane, then I'll believe it! REPLY: Copy. A soldier of few words.
Of course I went down a couple weeks ago in anticipation of his eventual return and stocked the refrigerator with Monster drinks and the freezer with Hungry Man meals and a large box of Cinnamon Crunch. Had to put something in there to sweeten his disposition. Did his laundry and cleaned up the bath. I figured he would enjoy a decent shower when he got home. That's about the extent of my housekeeping chores for him. I got enough of my own.
I would like to introduce you all to a newly discovered blog reported by fellow blogger Mighty Mom over at My Wonderful Life. The new site is run by the mother of a Marine and can be read at Are We There Yet? May I suggest you go over there and read he latest post. If you are a military parent I am sure you have walked this path.
