In the Army Now



It's official. Eric was sworn in to the National Guard yesterday morning. He officially ships out to boot camp on April 1st, and he's headed to Fort Jackson in South Carolina for basic training and then to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland for advanced and special forces training. He will be gone until the end of September, which is going to be soo long! We're going to miss him so much! These pictures don't tell the whole story...Private Fell had to be at drill this morning at 0800 which meant he had to shave off all his facial hair and it was hilarious! The poor guy has no chin or lips!
