So I have actually spent quite a bit of time researching on the computer about my travel plans and graduation for Joseph. They (the Air Force) have never given me any info that would help me know what is going on so therefor I needed to do the investigating myself. I have been detective like too. It is actually kinda funny. So I have looked at pictures of gradation on the Internet and I know there is a water tower a few blocks away from the graduation grounds and the same water tower is where the Airman do their run. So I looked at google maps satellite and found right where that is and the everything for graduation around that. I booked a hotel right outside the gates to the AFB so I am in walking distance to everything. It will be nice. We will take the city's transportation to get to the river walk and sea world. It is the year of the Airman family and so we are able to get into Sea world free. It is nice that there are some advantages here for we would not be able to afford it otherwise. I am so excited to see my husband. it will just be me. My boys are going to stay here with Grandma Jarvis with the help of a couple of my sisters, Rachel and Becca to help.
On base Joseph can escort me with his arm and after graduation when I get to congratulate him I can give him a 2 second kiss and hug. it is extremely strict on Base with trainees. So that will be the extent of our affection on base. Hopefully I can still a kiss or 2 off base. I can always hope but there are spies everywhere so if the trainees mess up they can get in a lot of trouble.....like starting Basic training over and doing it all again as a punishment....Not cool.
So I will get to see him Thursday through Sunday. He will start Tech school following Basic training. I hear it is a little more laxed and he will be able to call me more often and we will have a lot more communuication then we have now.
So that is my scoop and I am so looking forward to seeing and hanging out with my Best Friend.
