If you ever get to Fort Benning....

Check out the infantry museum!! It is awesome!!! 

We went several times and it is free!! 

Walk through history 

Fort Benning GA Training

Little late coming since we were here in 2010 but I thought I would write a little about our time there. Mostly for my own sake because this housing doesn't even exist anymore. We went back a year ago and it was completely gone! 

They were duplexes. Large living room on the main level with great windows. Ignore all the clutter. We literally dropped our stuff and left! 

Flooring was vct....and white walls! Thankfully my sister came back with me a few weeks later to make the place feel like a home! But of course did I take photos of that...no...wishing I had now!! 

Kitchen was nice. Nothing fancy but did the job! 

Backyard was fully fenced in but kind of small. Upstairs had two bedrooms and another bathroom. Hardwood floors all upstairs. I hated the stairs here though, hardwood and straight full flight down. Made me nervous with a three year old! The best feature of this house....the clubhouse and pool area right down the street.

It was all new and beautiful! We would walk down there all the time. Pool with splash park

And a playground as well! 

We loved Fort Benning. Maybe because it was the first place we lived or maybe we were just happy to be together again. I don't know but we loved it. 

Jordan's home! We got to see him several nights a week for about 15 minutes. Lorelei and I would load up and drive over. On our way we would go through the drive thru subway (dangerous) and get two cookies! Then we would wait for jordan to come say hi! 

Note to all military spouses....speed limits are not suggestions!! Haha

It's been awhile...

Ok so I really lost track of updating this. Lots has happened and I want to fill in all the details. But for right now I am just writing about what is going to happen today. Jordan is now at OCS. He is half way through (week 6) so this is branching day. Basically he will find out what his job will be for the next few years of his life. He isn;t really sure what he wants but he is hoping for Signal, MI (both very hard to get) or Quartermaster. I guess the way it works is everyone lines up and goes into an auditorium. From there each candidate will walk to the front in order of class rank and they will get to choose a branch from the available list. 

As things get chosen, the list gets shorter and the option are fewer. Jordan is in about the middle of his class so he has a decent shot at things but probably not his top picks. Lorelei and I get to go watch so we are pretty excited. After they choose their branch there is another ceremony where they get their white ascots. Since not too many families are here, I guess there are only about 5 families coming out of 145 guys or so. I am really glad to be here!
Well we are just getting ready to go. Thought I would make a quick update. After today we will know Jordan's branch and where we will be heading next for BOLCB. I can't wait to finally know the next step!
