I'm Sad

So my baby Soldier hurt his knee during basic training.. he did not get it looked at because as my Squid says.. you get hurt you get set back and then your living in hell that much longer.. so he went to AIT and it got a little better until his PT for Airborne.. it started hurting again.. On his first day at Airborne he slammed straight legged into the wall after coming down the grappling line and that was it.. Went to the doc and they said he has a torn ligament... he was dropped from Airborne today.. so now he's down at Ft Benning while they change his orders.. He is very sad.. but feels he did the right thing since his Army career is very important and Airborne was just a small part of it... He's hoping down the road he can try again.. His Sgt was being a total ass to him... which is ****** me off but Amir stuck to his guns and dropped. If he totally ruined his knee he could get a medical discharge and that is not what he wanted... So now we are waiting to find out where they are putting him... So please sent positive vibes his way... Thank you guys Debby A proud mom of a squid and soldier..

Debbie.... Prayers being sent to your son Amir and to you. God Bless... and ty for my well wishes. Hugs Julie

Well phooey! I sure hope he heals quickly. Those tears can hurt bigtime. Tell Amir we said "Get well soon". So how the heck are ya? I will send you my phone # as per your request ... I'm so bad about checking stuff these days though! Hugz, Cathy & Ron

Ron got a promotion and he just graduated with his 2nd degree ... this one is in Finance ... prolly to deal with me LOLOL I am taking my national boards next month ... wish me luck Oh and I'm looking for a job ... finally got my license in hand so I can sign up with the recruiters to start working Monday. Love, Cathy & Ron 3 dogs 27 birds workin' on the baby thing

I'm SHOCKED but glad I got to speakith with youith.... So back in Illinois hu? WHy not Reno!!!! Its great here when the fish bowl isnt full of smoke from those darn californians starting all those fires... Take care honey Debby

Glad to speak with you too! You oughta come back to IL ... no smoke covered landscape here!

And a proud mommy of a recovering tonsil removal son I am so sorry for your soldier...man though I am glad he was smart enough not to ruin his knee anymore.....and he has such the right spirit and attitude that he is going to go SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO far in life (as all of your boys are).....does he have any thoughts on where they may send him and when will he know? Lots of prayers for all of your babies (including your lovely husband)..... I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Debs, Annie and Baby Gill

We are not sure where he is going.. right now he's at Ft Benning waiting for his new orders.. There's a chance he could still end up at Bragg with his original unit.. if they take him they MIGHT send him back to Airborne in 6 months after the knee heals... OR they could send him anywhere in the world they want.. as long as it is an engineering unit... As soon as I know I'll post... Love you too!!!

ok, let me know...... you talked to cathy???? man i miss her...tell her to come back here and update us...is she back in IL?
