I received my first phone call from Seth!
He's doing well in Georgia, and has spent the last two days doing nothing but filling out paperwork, getting immunizations, and "buying" his gear etc (since they can't technically GIVE it to them, so they sell it to them for next to nothing). From what Seth said, he will be in Reception (the paperwork/shots/gear etc.) until a week from tomorrow (Friday, October 21), and then he gets starts boot for real.
Again, from what he's said, it sounds like he'll be doing boot for 12 weeks, will have graduation, and then will have four more weeks of Airborne training, before they bus him off to Fort Bragg, North Carolina for the rest of his training. As soon as I learn more about his time in NC, I'll put an updated time line up on here.
Whether or not Seth will be able to come home for Christmas or not is still up in the air, and I still don't know when he'll be able to write or call again, but when I know more, you'll know more!!
