My Nephew the Soldier
My nephew Ryan recently completed Army basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. He shipped out the same day for Fort Huachuca near Tucson, Arizona. At Fort Leonard Wood, he earned a sharpshooter badge and was amongst the company's fastest runners and leaders in push-ups and sit-ups. His company earned Honor Company for the best overall scores. The Drill Sergeants told my brother-in-law Roy (who, himself, is a drill sergeant in the reserves and who might be going to Iraq to train the Iraqi army) that Ryan was a "darn good soldier." Ryan will be at Fort Huachuca for AIT training until the first week of August. We are very proud of him.
