Apologies to anyone following this for ending so abruptly. We spent Sunday on base with Matt. He had a few errands to run so we picked him up around 9am and headed for the BX. I think everyone had the same plan as the place was packed. We then found a quiet spot behind the bleachers for our one last attempt at fattening Matt up. We brought him KFC and had a really nice picnic lunch then headed to church. Since arriving at Lackland Matt was attending the “CP” or contemporary Protestant service. I could completely understand the appeal for the fun, upbeat, musical service. They asked the recent grads to stand while the rest of the congregation cheered! Such a proud moment.
We are so proud of our Airman! Matthew knew this was the right decision for him and he embraced his basic training experience.
