Aaron recently returned from 18 weeks at Fort Leornardwood in Missouri. He finished Basic at the head of his class for PTs. He was first out of 210 soldiers. AIT was a great experience as he put all his training to the test. He likes blowing up buildings and knocking down doors! Toward the end of AIT the soldiers had to turn in their weapons. That night Aaron woke up in a panic because his weapon wasn't next to him. A couple of his buddies told him he was probably the only soldier that would be sorry to go home! We're glad to have Aaorn home. He will serve one weekend a month with our local National Guard Unit, while he prepares to go on his mission. We're proud of him for his decision to serve his country. Aaron has a deep sense of patriotism.
