Johnny has been in the Army (reserves) for 18 months now. He has been going back & forth on whether or not he should go active. For awhile he kept saying that he was going to, but then he decided to enroll in ITT tech for computer networking. He will be going to school for about 6 months (a semester) or until deployment. He will be going to Fort Polk, La. in August for his JRTC training to prepare him for deployment. He will be there for about 3 weeks or so I believe. Come January, 2010 he most likely will be deployed to Afghanistan for 18 months. Johnny is doing really good. He is enjoying the partying life with his friends. He was working, but that didn't work out for him. He really does have his mind set on finishing school and getting his degree. Computers has always been a great interest to him. To the point when he was in high school, he hacked into the school computers (he did get caught & got reprimanded). He always kept breaking into the computers. You would think he would learn from the first time....not! I can not believe how much he has grown. He does stay out of trouble, not that he ever was. Johnny will be 20 years old in 2 weeks (June 27th). Despite of his decisions, we are so proud of him! I know he will choose his path & find his way!
