Pvt. Cody Harrison, U. S. Army

Long time since I've been able to post anything. Some idiot hacked into my email in September, as well as my Facebook, and it has taken me months to get back all the information that was lost. 

That being said, some exciting things have been happening. My youngest son, Cody, has wanted to join the Army for some time. He had his GED, but that was not sufficient to enlist. He also had 5 college credits. They told him to get 10 more and he could enlist with the GED. So he did just that, getting A's and B's in his classes last Spring.  He then enlisted in the Army, with a report date of October 5th, or thereabouts, to Fort Benning, GA, for Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training. He is in the Infantry. He will graduate on February 4th, and proceed to his first duty station shortly after.

He was able to come home for a 2 week leave at Christmas time. His wife Sami and their 3 children have been living with us since June. When Cody came home, he and the kids built a huge snowman in our front yard.  It was a very quick 2 weeks, and he returned...reluctantly...to Georgia January 4th.

I'm very proud of him, and I hope he can get housing soon so his little family can join him.
