Well, as I started typin, his Momma got his "I'm here and safe" call. She said he sounds fine to her, so him breaking down earlier is either, just because he isn't afraid to cry around me... or it hit him at once how big this is for him and right now he's trying anything and everything not to do anything to be singled out by his TI's this early..

And oddly... I'm shaking from... Happiness!

And for me, he said absolutely no pictures are to be sent to him... He said he doesn't want any issues from it, and he wants to wait and see how his TI will take the other guys getting pictures, and he'll let me know.

By the way, thank you I'm definatly proud of him for it. It's been his dream since he was a little kid, and I'm happy that he gets to live out that dream, and all that.
