Just an update

So... what's new in the Army life? A bunch of confusion - as always. So of course, Billy passed his test and this was supposed to remove his 'flag' but of course it's been two weeks and nothing has changed. He's got to request for his leave in April so we can come home AND he's wanting to get surgery on his eyes, but neither of these will be approved if his flag is still out there. So, we're hoping that changes very soon. We've been checking it every other day and it's just frustrating. He's asked a couple people about it and they are "working on it." Yeah, well I know all about that. **having flashbacks from when his orders were wrong and had to be fixed** But basically there's been a super big pile of mess... as always. He got signed up for a driving class to get certified on Humvees. Then they find out he has no record on file for his vision. So, he has to make an appointment to the eye doctor (hence the upcoming eye surgery) and so he has to wait another month to get signed up for that class. SO... they tell him that they want him to do a bus driving class. And that was supposed to start next week. But apparently the guy who signed him up for that thought he had already been through Humvee training and because Humvee training is a prerequisite for bus driving school.... he now has to wait even LONGER! None of this is his fault at all. He's been to the eye doctor several times since he joined the army, but because someone somewhere didn't enter his information in... well, what else is new?

But in my circle... life is just going on. One of my girlfriend's husband's is coming back from deployment soon and another's is about to leave. So, that's an experience getting to watch how those two families cope. We'll be there at some point and well... i don't know. I'm just saying, it will be good to see what all that is going to be like.
