Kelsey and Nigel in my old uniforms.
Kelsey is wearing a dress green jacket from the 70s, Nigel is recent camouflage.
Today was the first drill weekend I missed since September of 2007. This is my discharge month and I am officially a civilian. So I packed the uniforms, hats, gloves, medals and other gear I still have into a footlocker.
In addition, my son Nigel and our Host-Daughter Kelsey thought they would love to have some of the clothes for parties, etc. So the footlocker that went to the basement isn't even full. I still have the new Army fitness uniform in my closet and the shirt we wore with body armor.
My sons are also claiming boots for fashionable teenage wear. Some days it is hard to believe I am out of the Army. Some days I can't believe I was in so recently.
