The Cherished Ones

SO sporadic with this whole thing.  A year ago, it was my first day at my first AIT.  It was the first of 3!

It was like a Trilogy that just got worse with each film.  Belvoir was nice.  I had the most freedom at Lee but I would've rather been back at Belvoir.

It's difficult to say I regret everything.  Failing each school.  Even joining the Army.  I met a lot of amazing people in the Year That Was.  Especially at the last two schools.

I'd have to say that I have one very true and dear friend from each place.  Someone whose friendship I cherish deeply.  From Basic, Brett.  He was an unlikely candidate.  I didn't really get to know him until a month before Graduation.  He got me through both Belvoir and Lee.
From Belvoir, Pat.  I had such a HUGE crush on him.  I still do.  I love him though NOT in an intimate way but as a really close friend.  He got me through Eustis.  Especially when I was most miserable. 
From Eustis, Ralph and Eric.  They don't know it and I don't talk to them as often as I should but I do think of them and I'm proud of all the accomplishments they both have made in the short time they've been out in the real Army.
From Lee, Austin.  He was my APG (Assistant Platoon Guide) counterpart and he's one of my Go To guys.  I know that I can usually go to him for anything I need advice on.
