Soldier of the Month - Ft. Sam Houston
She was put up for soldier of the month in April but withdrew because she didn't think she was ready. Tonight, after a board of Drill Sargeants named her soldier of the month for May, she said that she "sucked." Maybe she has higher standards than most.
As if that is a surprise.

Three cheers for the most beautiful (inside and out) Soldier of the Month Fr.Sam Houston's ever had the pleasure of honoring! All hail Goddess Samantha Alice!!
Love the purple drapes.
She's a little bit of a perfectionist, eh? Hmmmmm?
Just another one of the many things I love about her.
Hi - found you at random NextBlogging, you know...
Girl! You are too pretty to be in the army, what are you doing there? Really I wish you all the best with your career... but I have to say I've a friend whose 19 year old son has been in Afghanistan for several months and he cannot WAIT to get back ...
Take care please and all the best to you

ps if you want to drop by mine I'm at http://gledwood2.blogspot.com - you're most welcome. See you there, maybe!
I have a son at Fort Sam Houston who just got there Monday, How long will it be before I can get a mailing address so I can write him.......just curious
Joan, I hope you get this reply - you have your profile set to private, so I can't find a way to answer you directly.
The first week is reception. He won't have a permanent address until he ships out to his actual BCT platoon - usually one week after he arrives, but give or take a couple of days. I know that's frustrating, but the platoons aren't pre-assigned, it's luck of the draw as they get off the bus. They'll be put into lines and sorted on the spot.
He should get a chance to use the phone in his first couple of days. It's hard to get through, though, because he'll have to stand in line with everybody else to share the too-few phones and he'll only have a few minutes. I had a phone card that took approx. 2 minutes of my time on every call because it played a bunch of freakin' commercials - made me nuts!
Do write him, often - it helps us so very much - and encourage everybody you know to send him little bits - it doesn't have to be much, even a postcard, everything helps. It broke my heart when some of the people in my platoon never heard from anybody.
Tell him good luck from an old lady who survived. They'll be tough on him, but they have to. We have to be strong to survive.
Hey , thanks for the tips on their about what to expect at fort sam houston......It meant alot to me that someone took the time to explain to this worried mom how it works there..........I hope I can write my boy soon
Hey It's me again Joanie the Proud parent of a soldier at fort sam houston, he said they are packing up to go to barracks and then he should have a address for me so that I may write him.......I am trying not to seem like a overprotective parent. I still worry............Thanks in advance to any news you could tell me
I Sam I found you at random. I was wondering if you could help me. I have a son who has been at Ft Sam Houston since June 7, he was held over and will be starting class tomorrow. The website gives very limited information. My son says they will be there 4.5 months. I am starting now looking for graduation information. I did get to talk to my son by cell phone until tonight. He says the can't have cellphones unless there on their own time which I am assuming is going to be very limited. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
