Today is even exiting day because Pat has "town pass" which allows him to get off base.
Today's schedule is:
9:00 am----Graduation Parade
10:15 am---Dormitory open house
12:00 pm---Town Pass
8:00 pm----Airman back to the dorm
We arrived at the parade ground at 8:15 am in order to get a parking spot. Fortunately, we got a parking spot and a good spot for the parade. When we got there this morning, it was very foggy. So the Airman got to wear their formal wear for the parade. I love it. Pat looked so sharp in his formal wear.
The airman are released for base liberty immediately following the graduation parade. And Pat rode with us back to his dorm and we got to see his dorm.
At 12:00 pm, he is released for town pass until 8:00 pm. We went back to the hotel and hung out for a while. Then we went to Riverwalk and The Alamo with the rest of the families.
There are so many rules. He needs to wear the hat outside and take it off inside. You must be taking it off or putting it on as you walk through the door. The car counts inside. He can't wear sunglass. (We don't know why. But I think if they wear sunglasses nobody is going to recognize them. They already look all the same with the hat, the hairstyle and the uniform. Seriously, it's really hard to recognize who is who without looking at them real close.) His jacket can only unzip down to the center. The hat is tipped slightly to the right. He can't walk and talk on the phone.

It's a wonderful day for us. And tomorrow is going to be even better because he will have town pass for the whole day!!
These couple months were a real challenge for our family. Not only to Pat, but Ian and I. But when we saw him at the graduation, everything is so worthy. All the suffering, the time we separated, all the hustle were paid off when I saw him with his airman attire. I know this is the right thing to do for him and for our family.
He's changed a lot since he left for BMT. I'm very proud of my husband chose to serve his country. I know he can do it. I know he will do great. I love my Airman!
See! How we take this picture? Because we can't get too close!!
