My brother  orangebluez shipped off to basic 2 weeks ago. He should be done with basic in about 6 weeks, but won't be back home for quite a while. Thankfully, when he completes basic, he will be back in contact with the world.

If you're wondering, he joined the air force, plans to work in weapons development. His dad was a career U.S.A.F. man, and something tells me my brother is going to be one too.

God I miss him already.
