Bryant is currently waiting for his MOS training to begin. He enjoyed coming home for Christmas. He had a blast hanging out with friends and putting smiles on his family with well thought out gifts. We took him back to base, met one of his friends and toured his room (pics below)
His training description for MOS 2847: Telephone systems/personal computer intermediate repairers are trained to diagnose, modify, and perform repairs at the intermediate level on ground common telephone equipment, switchboards, stand alone power supplies, ground common small computers, peripheral devices, and related equipment. Typical duties include intermediate level repairs and alignments to stand alone power supplies, ground common telephone equipment and ground common small computers, requisitioning of parts, and completing equipment repair orders.

Promotion!
By now you have heard that Bryant has a Christian friend on base. Our great adventure of getting Bryant and J.T. back to base on time was successful but getting mom home was more challenging. We are all being grateful the car broke down on base and not in the middle of nothing-land. There really are angles and Sunday night one was dressed up as a Marine who spent the whole night putting in a alternator and battery. He did not give up despite difficulties under the hood. Tim is also back from the PI and he is going to have some great stories to share.
I talked to Bryant this morning and he happily reported that he is now Private First Class. So the above picture is of his Chevrons(on his collar). Bryant's heading for the picture was, "This is what I've waited for 6 months!" He is still waiting for his recruiter to put the paperwork in so he can come home for Christmas. Do you know what he would like for Christmas? a car...right!
