We visited Nick at Fort Leonard Wood over the weekend and it was quite an eye-opener. He lives in a three-bedroom townhouse and his roommate is Burmese. A very nice young man. Nick seems to enjoy his place and there’s little wonder. He has lots of freedom. A big TV with video games, movies and time to hang out after work. And guys come and go all the time. It reminded me of a frat house. Of course it could use some cleaning, but it’s not bad at all. He seems comfortable and likes it so far.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated but really there hasn’t much been going on with Nick. He’s still stationed at Fort Leonard Wood and working during the days and hanging out at night. We tried to arrange for him to come home for a leave but it just didn’t work out. The Army changed its mind about letting him go. So this weekend, we’re driving to Missouri to see where and how he lives. It should be interesting.
