FA OBC Graduation 9-17

Dave graduated this past Wednesday, September 17th marking one year he has been in the Army. He has now completed Basic, OCS/BOLC I, BOLC II, and BOLC III/FA OBC. Field Artillery Officer's Basic Leadership Course. Most of our friends have departed to their various posts around the world as we are in the midst of our packing and moving. Long story short: we will eventually move to Hawaii as that is where we are being stationed, but first Dave is going to Ft. Benning, GA to go through Ranger and Airborne Schooling. Once he has completed those we will join his unit in Hawaii.
Dave never tells me exactly how he has done in school or with any course, I have to read the program to learn anything or talk with his fellow classmates. =) He was one of four Honor Graduates to complete FA OBC in class 06-08. I am very proud of him and thankful to the Lord for the wonderful blessing he continues to be in my life. Below are a few pictures from graduation. I hope you enjoy.

We will be packing up here to leave Ft. Sill, OK. We have thoroughly enjoyed almost every minute of our stay here. I am actually going to miss this little town filled with so much history. I'd love to get in a time machine and go back 150 years.

We will be going to Birmingham for one day then off to Atlanta for our sweet friend's wedding, Grace Henriksen. =) After that we will be off to Savannah to visit with JoeJoe, Jess and Charlie. We are hoping to see Jon somewhere in there, as well.

Dave starts Ranger School October 12th. Please continue to pray the Lord blesses Dave, grants him favor and protection.
