Camp Pendleton

Steven just called from Camp Pendleton. He can receive calls and texts. He has his cell with him. If you want to send a letter, his addy is:

Pvt Steven A Root
Hotel Company, Plt 2
Marine Combat Training Battalion
School of Infantry
Camp Pendleton, Ca. 92055

They took a 4 mile hike and got to throw grenades this week. He's going to services on base for now.

He is graduating? Wow - that seems so quick! So what school is san diego did he go to? Brea applied to san diego christian college, although she is 90% sure she's going to FC.

Is he at Camp Pendleton? What a great time of the year for him to be graduating! The weather should be wonderful dowm there! We'll keep him in our prayers!

One week down, 12 more to go! He is at San Diego. He will go to CP after that for more "soldier" training. Then, he'll go to North Carolina, (Camp Lajuene) for his job (MOS) training.

He will be graduating in January. We got a letter today from him. He "loves it and hates it at the same time. and sends his love to everyone."

The complete addy is
Rec Root S
1st RTBN Charlie Co Plt 1047
4002 Midway Ave
San Diego, CA 92140-1047

If you sent letters to the 36001 it will still get to him. Midway Ave is the base. Letters only take 3 days to get here, but 10 days to get to him.

Oh good, the full address!

Hey Debbie!

by potatoprincess at 11/04/08 4:29PM
One more correction, the street # is 40002. The first letter he sent to us only had 2 zeros... Oh well.... ;-)

by droot75 at 11/27/08 8:14PM
Debbie. How are you? I have thought about Steven several times recently. So are you going to his graduation?

Thanks, Deb.

This kids have been out of school 4/5 days this week. WE haven't had too much difficulty getting around here in Canby. The roads have been decent. I think the roads were the worst today and possibly BAD tonight when it freezes. Hope you are staying solidly on BOTH your feet!!

I don't know how often you check this, but I'm uploading all Steven's senior pictures to my Flickr gallery. I'll give you a CD - but you can also order the pictures online from Flickr if you don't want to take the CD to the store (saves time & gas). You can also email them to friends & family, and they can order them online too. You've got over 100 great shots to choose from. I'm really happy with how they came out! Steven wins the award for "The Easiest Guy I've Photographed So Far" :)

STEVEN'S SENIOR PICTURES ON FLICKR - you'll see them in a set called "Steven" when you click on that link (after they're all done uploading). Happy choosing!!!

Your "hello" got back to me! Thanks. :)
