Feels Like Monday!
It's been pretty emotional around our house the past week or two. AcademyBoy is all graduated and finished up with high school and stuff. A few days before graduation, AcademyBoy got a letter in the mail telling him he is DQ'd becausehiseyesight doesnotmeet pilot/academy standards. HisWaiverWasNotApproved. ...which means, he got the appointment, but can't go. End of story and I really don't want to talk about it any more. Just knew you'd want to know.
I cried.
He took it like a man.
AcademyBoy is once again officially Mr.SoonToBeBlue. He's fallen back on his "just in case" fall back plan... and flies away to the WildBlueYonder (boot camp) in 8 weeks. He's a very determined young man and hasn't moped or complained or even been ugly since he got the news. Still plans on going to college. Just going to go about it in a different manner. No sweat. Still believes the AirForce is right for him at this time, ...and we giggled over the fact that his eyes are good enough to be an avionics technician and work on the planes he won't be able to fly... oh! and there's a 95% chance that he'll be stationed right near here on the coast for 9 months of tech school...
Oh, to be that young again and full of dreams!
Ms.Blue is heading home next week too! She's worked her butt off trying to get leave before Mr.SoonToBeBlue heads out. Her commander just told her this morning she can go home since she hasn't been since Thanksgiving. ...NAVYBOY is driving her. (UGGH!) they are spending 3 days with us, then going to spend a few days with his family then NavyBoy is bringing her home to stay with us for a week while he heads off to TX and before she goes back to the east coast... It will be good to have all 3 of my kids home again one more time... who knows how soon that will happen again.
Anyway... that's what's been going on that I haven't been able to write about...

My dad wasnt allowed to fly bc of his eyesight either-sucks.
IMO NavyBoy should be resting his butt on the couch. You can tell a lot about how respectful a kid is in this kind of situation. Jay wouldnt have stayed in my room even if I wanted him too. My brothers slutbag gf from college openly stayed in his room against the parents and grandparents wishes and my grandmother NEVER forgot that she(and my brother) was so disrespectful. she made is very clear how she felt about people sharing a room when they werent married and my grandparents were paying to rent the vacation house we were staying in.
