He made the cut! Boy #1 received his letter from National Guard Youth Challenge today informing him that he has been selected for the class starting in March at Ft. Gordon! We go to Augusta for orientation next Saturday and he reports for first day of classes on March 22. Holy Saturday. A 22 week program. At the end of which he’ll have a diploma/GED. These are all good signs in my book. He’s completely psyched and ready to go and is even looking forward to the first two weeks of the program which they call Hard Core Challenge, which from I’ve been told is similar to basic training/boot camp. It’s the two weeks that make it or break it for the new cadets and he’s not worried about it one single bit. Yay!
