Well, he’s in the army now! Paul joined the Army and left 3/16/09 for Montgomery, AL, for processing. March 17th they bussed those going to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, to the base there.
We’ve had 3 short messages from Paul on our answering machine, and Harris and I finally got to talk to him for about 5 minutes today. They have been “processing” since they arrived in SC and Boot Camp officially starts Monday, March 23rd!
He will only be able to receive and write “snail mail” for 9 1/2 weeks. It will be up to his drill sergeant whether or not he gets to call during that time. He’ll graduate late May and start his training at the same base to be a Human Resources information Technology Systems Management Specialist. In other words, he’ll be working on computers.
If you’d like to write to Paul, here’s his address:
Paul Wheeler
2nd Platoon
E Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment
Fort Jackson, SC 29207
Thank you for your love, prayers and concern for him. We’ll keep you posted!

Fort Jackson is just about 6 1/2 hours due east of Birmingham... right outside Columbia, SC.
Well, I can't spell...
