Latest from COT
    Got to talk to Mike today. He said he did really well for his baseline PT test this morning. He did about 45-47 (I forgot) push ups and sit ups. I think they are given 1 minute. I will have to ask. He ran a 12 minute 1 1/2 mile too. He said even though they have to wake up at 4:30 and he is running on very little sleep, he wakes up a little early each day out of excitement!
    He has an academic test tomorrow then actually gets a little break over the weekend since Monday is a holiday. I thought for sure it wouldn't be for them. That was a nice surprise.
    Yesterday he was the first one to volunteer to lead his flight (his group of about 15). He said he got yelled at quite a bit and corrected quite a bit (as they all do all day long) but said he really enjoyed it. Nothing like having to march 15 folks who all still have no real clue how to march. lol He did get a compliment as he was the only flight leader of the many for the class of 290 who did a certain procedure correctly. That was pretty cool.
    The kids are holding up well. They go back and forth between playing well together then fighting over nothing. I do sense an improvement in attitude overall since school has been out though. They love playing with friends, but have also been very creative this week when playing together. The most recent fun, they played that they were "meeps" whose job it was to save the world. They all had a pair of stockings on their head. It was precious!
