  Hey guys-- Pat's now at Fort Sam Houston, TX, doing his AIT (Advanced Individual Training) for the Medical Corps.&nbsp; The FSH website is pretty big but isn't really yeilding much info on what's going on with him there.&nbsp; We did get a short letter from Pat that said AIT is a lot like basic except that they go to school 8-10 hours a day and that school moves fast.&nbsp; He&nbsp;also mentioned that he'll get a chance to go up in a Blackhawk helicopter, which he's excited about.
An example of criptic army lingo that peppers Pat's letters and all the Army websites I try to read: I set my goal today....&nbsp;to finish AIT with&nbsp;a 95 to 100 average and score a 300 on the PT test.&nbsp; If I&nbsp;do that I will&nbsp;get a chance to extend my MOS&nbsp;to&nbsp;91W(M6).&nbsp; If I do get the M6 added to my MOS I will be here at good Fort Sam an additional 16 weeks!
Um, thanks for clearing that up,&nbsp;Pat.&nbsp; Anyway, he's working towards becoming an LPN and maybe getting college credits toward becoming an RN.&nbsp; Yay, Pat!&nbsp; Anyway, write the man a letter, wouldja?&nbsp; I remember how nice it was to get letters in college, and I can only imagine it must be at least 20 times as nice to get them in the Army...&nbsp; He'd probably appreciate a picture or two, or at least a note.&nbsp; :) Here's his new address: Pvt. Pat Lydon Foxtrot Co.&nbsp; 232nd Med Bn 2950 Koleher Rd.&nbsp; Bld. 1350 FSH Texas&nbsp; 78234 Do it.
