The Adventure has begun.

Bryson entered Basic Training yesterday. Sunday night he stayed at a hotel near the airport. He had to be up at 4:30 Monday morning. He was suppose to be sworn in at 10:00 that morning but due to a hold up, he had to wait about 3 hours. I can only imagine that Bryson was going crazy because he is a very time oriented person. Dad and Christopher were there to watch Bryson swear in. Bryson was able to talk to them for a little bit while they were waiting. He said he didn't fall asleep till about 12:30 and that it was a very restless sleep.

Last night, about 10:30, my dad got a call on his phone. The conversation went something like this:

(Dad) "Hello?"
"This is (whatever his rank is) Chipman. I have made it to San Diego. I am safe. Please do not send any packages. My next correspondence will be through mail. Love you. (Click)
(Dad) "Bye."

Bryson was talking into the phone so loud that I could hear him even though I was 4-5 ft away from Dad. The whole phone call lasted 11 seconds.

Hope he is doing well. I'll keep things updated here.
