Today was Donnie's OCS Class Opening Ceremony. The ceremony was really short, literally 10 minutes long... it simply represents the passing on of leadership to the new officer candidates before they officially begin OCS. When they did the change and the new leadership ran up (Donnie's a platoon sergeant so he took part in this), they all yelled "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOCS!" It was too funny to me because I KNEW Donnie was just hating it! =)
Even though OCS is here at Fort Benning, Donnie has to stay in the barracks on-post when he's not in class. So the boys and I haven't seen him all week, and I received just a few very short phone calls that lasted less than five minutes. So, it sure was good to see him today!!
Tomorrow Donnie will get a pass, but we'll have to stay on post... so we plan to take the boys to see 'Where the Wild Things Are' and to dinner. Can't wait... I know we've been apart for a LOT longer before, but I have MISSED him!!!!!
