Brandon officially checked into Fort Sill today. His class doesn't begin until 11 May, but his orders stated he had to check in by 01 May. Of course they put him on leave until class starts,,he is using his PTAD leave now so he will not be charged any days leave. The boys and I dropped him off at the Marine Detachment (Brown Hall) around 0930 and headed .3 miles to our house..talk about convenient. Anyway, he was there about an hour and was happy to see quite a few officers formerly from 10th Marines.
Next we joined up with him and headed over to building 4700 where all the other check in points are such as PMO (military police),MWR,housing etc. Building 4700 has super playroom that the kids and I hung out with and ended up bumping into Anja and her kids too. Our final stop being Reynolds Army Hospital to get us all squared away with Tricare. I recently switched the kids back to Prime, so I am hoping Reynolds will be good to us. All in all he was checking in about 3 hours.
I always enjoy seeing Brandon wear his Alpha's (what this uniform is called). Mostly because he rarely wears them and it is a nice change from cammies.
They are calling for heavy rain all weekend so we are nixing the trip to the railroad museum and probably just lounging around a lot and resting until our furniture comes on Monday. Then the fun really starts!
