We are 5 minutes away from Great Lakes and the Navy Recruit Center. We have been told to be at the gates by 6:15AM because the car check could take an hour and the line tends to be quite long.
I knew we needed to get there early but had no idea it would be that early. Oh well, it is what family should do.
Jordan called us while we were traveling. He has completed everything so Friday's Parade in Review is the culminating event. Can't wait to see him. He sounds so good and excited about his future in the Navy.
Several bragging points:
1. He ranked 7th during the final physical fitness test. He told me how many but I can't remember. I do know it was a lot.
2. He participate in an event last Saturday and did 150 push ups in 3 minutes and 98 sit ups in 3 minutes.
3. He ran 1 1/2 miles in 9:50. His best time since he began all of his preparing for basic.
4. He received a promotion and finishes basic as an E3.
After tomorrow, I will have more to report and pictures. We are all getting very excited.
We thank God for our travel mercies and am praying for continued protection while we are here and on our return trip.
