I had told everyone that things were pretty stressful in my family and asked you all to remember me in your prayers. Freddie's Family is the greatest. I wanted to give you an update and say thank you all for remembering me.

My son is in the Army, as many of you know. He just completed his basic and technical training, but was unable to stand at graduation last week because he still missed passing his monthly Physical Test. This is a requirement for graduation. He has had a series of minor medical problems, mostly a sprained ankle and respiratory infections, that have kept him from passing the past several of these PT's. It has been disheartening and the drill sgts have even been threatening him with a medical discharge (which a lot of military people tell me is just a threat, since neither of his conditions would qualify) which has lowered his moral even more. It has been a rough few of months for us. But he finally passed the PT test this morning.

We are rejoicing with his achievement. He will be stationed at Fort Wachuga out in Arizona for possibly the next two years. He is excited about this assignment. His tech field is Multimedia Illustrator, or the fighting Crayola's as they unaffectionately call themselves (actually they hate this title! LOL) The training he has received and the work he will be doing in the Signal Corps will help him toward his dream of working for Marvel Comics one day, he hopes. There is always the possibility of deployment to a combat zone, as there is with anyone in the army these days, but he is not high on the deployment list. So keep praying for that as well. It is my hope and prayer that all our troops will be able to come home soon, and that there would be an end to this war and all wars.

Have a great Freddie day. I am sooo thankful to Freddie for bringing such a great group of people together and I am proud to call you all my friends.

What wonderful news Luckymama! I can imagine the happiness in your house hold as well as the happiness in your son's heart. I rejoice that God has answered your prayers as well as ours for your son's passing his PT and now to be able to move forward in his duties as required to him in the Army. Thank God that he was there at your Son's side as he struggled through this! With God all this are possible!

What good news for you and your family...

I will continually pray for him and for this darn war to be over too.

Yay! That truly is quite an accomplishment to pass. I have heard horror stories about boot camp, and how mean the drill seargents can be.

We will definitely keep him in our prayers, and pray that he will not be called into active duty.

Tell him to have fun doodling from all of us here in the Freddie family.
