Brandon


Now that he feels there is no other way for him to support his family after deployment, he has decided to re-enlist with the Army for another 6 years. While I do have to agree with the reasons, I am still very worried about future deployments, Danisha says that he has a plan around that, but who knows with the Army. They tend to not do what is best for their men but what they want to do for themselves... I really admire his ambition and am very proud of the man he has become. Knowing he has nothing more than highschool education and refuses to go back to work for next to nothing in the oil fields, he sees his only out in re-uping with the Army, I honestly have to say that I agree and I know that of all the things he has tried for work, he enjoys the Army the most. He hates being deployed, who wouldn't, but the other aspects of it he enjoys, so I can understand the decision in mind. What it looks like for him once he is home is 3 weeks off to spend with family, surgeries for his shoulders which seem to dislocate every other day...and then working at Camp Roberts along the coast, training other soldiers for deployment. So all in all it seems ok and all the while he will continue with going through the process for Corrections, he's half way through but was sent away, so all that will start back up and hopefully he will go into the academy soon.
Ok I feel as if I'm telling his life story, sorry, I'm a proud sister, and a worried one at that! I will do anything for him to help them out, as you can see they are a cute little family trying, as we all are, to make it through these tangled webs of life.
