David and Matthew left with Sharon (Dustin's mom) on Saturday to begin the long trip to Missouri for Dustin's BCT graduation. From Pocatello to Fort Leonard Wood is a 21 hour drive. It was broken up across three days going out so that the boys would be able to see their dad for family day and graduation.
The boys just after finding Dustin on Wednesday - family day
Dustin was so surprised to find a little blonde kid hugging his leg. Matthew loved the uniform and took a little while to talk to Dustin. David was just excited to see his dad. They were both so excited to see him, they had been telling everyone about getting to see their dad for the past week and half.
Dustin in his ASU (Army Service Uniform)
He is so handsome. I wish I could have been there and look forward to seeing him in June. Right now he has a marksman badge and hopes to be able to get it up to a sharpshooter. The glasses are keepers although he can see without them, he just sees better with them than without.I am so proud of all that he has accomplished in a short amount of time. I know that we have both grown and learned much while he has been away. Our relationship has also developed and strengthened across the miles. Despite how hard it is at times to be separated for so long this has really been a good move for our family. We look forward to the many adventures the Army will provide us.
*If you are interested in sending Dustin letters his address has changed. Just email me and I'll send it to you.
