Dec 2017

He is here hanging out his mom is working. And he quit his job so he has free time and does not want to be alone. So he does not have to I told him will stop around his place get some clothes because his mother is on like two day shift at hospital. And he can crash here he is well terrified of his choice and I feel for him. But I once again told him many men and now women have made osut infantry so let’s stop with the worrying. And enjoy these couple of days I worry because life today in infantry platoon and Afghanistan or possibly Korea. He may find himself in tight spot but we’re going to hang out today and tomorrow.
