My son had always wanted to join the military, so that’s exactly what he did. He was very excited 2 weeks ago when his recruiter picked him up to begin his journey. That was exactly 2 weeks ago yesterday. He arrived at Ft. Jackson about 1030pm and that was the last I heard until the next day as he called and read off a card very fast his Battalion, company and platoon. He obviously went through reception the first week, but started real stuff last week.
He was able to call for 15mins Sunday and was excited and in good spirits, saying the gas chamber was this week along with lots of other stuff and they would receive their weapon this Thursday. I just received a call from him that he has tested positive for COVID and was being quarantined for 2 weeks and would now have to start over where he left off, meaning 2 weeks behind. He will be assigned a new company, platoon and all. He was in pretty good spirits, but I’m sure morale is down some. 14 others were positive as well. Yeah, they all had the first shot of Pfizer. He said he felt sore, runny nose, sore throat and no taste, or smell. If you have a second please say a word for him and the others as well. Thank you ODT!
