And she's off!

Anna sent me a text yesterday letting me know her phone would be but away until she graduates BCT. She was packing and preparing to leave for BCT at 10:00 AM this morning. Kind of scary for me to realize I will not hear from her for quite awhile.But she is o excited - makes it hard for me to feel too down. I do miss her!

She was also very excited about the prospect of facing the Victory Tower this Saturday. Victory Tower is an exercise where recruits must navigate through several obstacles at extreme heights, including climbing and traversing rope ladders and bridges. They must then rappel down a 50-foot wall (back-first, with rope harness). (From Wikipedia)

Victory Tower, Ft. Jackson

Hey! Found some pretty interesting videos I wish I would have found before this! It is a three part series. The first one is about Reception at Ft. Jackson:  Fort Jackson Reception.

Part two:  Fort Jackson Basic Combat Training

Part three:  Fort Jackson AIT

Anna will be sending info regarding her address soon. Once I have that I will certainly share it! I've already collected a few silly cards to send to her to brighten her day!
