Drill Weekend!!

Usually Nick dreads drill weekend. He has to leave family, drive to Boise, roll around in the dirt a little, get bossed around, share a shower and bathroom, what could be so exciting about that. But not this weekend, Nick was actually way excited about going. But who wouldn't be. He got to do war training and fly in a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and shoot big guns. I guess boys will always be boys.


All Suited Up!

Nick also received great news when arriving at drill this weekend. He was getting promoted. YEAH!! He will be getting promoted from E5 Sgt. to E6 Staff Sgt.. For those that don't know military lingo (like me) this means more pay and and no more grunt work. Nick will now be assigned to a until called JFHQ (Joint Force Headquarters) located in Boise. He has no clue what he will be doing but it sounds oh, so fun!! He is so excited, he thought this promotion was far in the future. He is stoked. Congrats Nick.
