So it's a countdown now... 30 days until Kyle starts his basic training and we officially become a military family.
BUT that could all change.
Kyle will be taking his USAF PAST (United States Air Force Physical Ability and Stamina Test) in an attempt to qualify for Pararescue in the Special Forces at the end of the week. If he does well enough on his PAST then we're looking at several more months of waiting for a pararescue job to open up and then he can begin his basic training.
Again, "hurry up and wait" is definitely becoming a part of our lives.
He's pretty nervous about this test but we all know he'll do fine. He's been working out every single day on his own and a couple times a week with a personal trainer. If he's not there just yet, they'll get him there during his basic training, I'm sure.
These sites talk a little bit more about it and the requirements:

Just a quick update, wish him luck!
Until next time,
Frieda
