Yesterday I got to see Jon for the first time in 11 weeks. It was amazing. I got to see the bay where he sleeps and meet a lot of the other soldiers who he is in a platoon with. They are all really cool. Every time I was introduced to someone they were like, "Oh your the one in the photo? He talks about you all the time." It was really nice. I got to meet the girlfriends and fiancees and wives also. It was really weird to be on this end of the military now since I grew up in it. It's a totally different perspective.
Since Jon couldn't go off post we had to find things to do on post which involved eating at pizza hut and shopping at the PX. Then he got a call form his staff sergeant and we had to rush back to his bay so he could talk to his sergeants because apparently he still has dual citizenship with the Philippines even though I know I lost my dual citizenship with Germany when I turned 18. He didn't mark on his papers that he had it because he wasn't aware that he did and they were talking about giving him fraudulent enrollment discharge. In military speak they were going to kick him out for lying. It was bad. My dad is doing what he can about it but they're worried that if anything goes wrong we might have to call a congressman or even go to JAG. So not how I wanted to spend the day with him.
We did get to hang out at the bowling alley and eat dinner at the officer's club which none of them have ever done. Today he graduates ad he'll come home in two weeks for Christmas.
