1st Lieutenant

Well, we finally received much of our initial paperwork. We have what I believe to be official orders for my TDY to the chaplain school in January and then on to Ft. Campbell, KY in April. I will indeed be serving with the 101st Airborne and am trying to figure out exactly which group I will be serving.

Additionally, I received my oath of office paperwork. So yesterday morning I was officially sworn in as a 1st Lieutenant in the US Army. Nothing too fancy, just a quiet ceremony with my hand on a copy of God's Word with my family by my side. A proud moment that has been a long time coming. God has been very faithful and His timing is of course perfect and we are humbly thankful.

I will continue to try to keep this site updated as pieces fall into place. As of today I will be leaving for school (probably by driving) in about 7 weeks. Wow! That is coming up fast.

Blessings.
