May I ask if he has to travel through Lambert Airport to return to duty? If so, tell him to stop by the USO there, and ask for Stu. That's my dad, and he volunteers at the USO almost every day of the week. My dad would be proud to shake your son's hand, and offer him any of the food they have on hand.

Thanks....we drove down to Ft. Benning to get him and will be driving him back. At some point i am sure he will be going thru lambert. I will try to remember that.

Trevor has finished Basic training and is in his advanced training phase as a cavalry scout. Looks like a lot of fun.

he is 4th from the right in the front row. This picture is from basic. He has since been promoted to Platoon Guide (for all you non military types the Platoon guide is the guy who stands in front of the platoon and is in charge of the platoon. They call it Platoon God)

Here Trevor climbs the wall on the confidence course.
