X-communicated

Well, today is day number one of AJ not being able to communicate with anyone for the next two weeks while he and the soldiers are doing their special training in "the box." They had all electronic devices taken away from them so that they can learn to depend and lean on their fellow soldiers for support and encouragement rather than their friends and family back home. They will be doing intense training to simulate what they will be going through when they are over seas. Please keep AJ and the rest of the National Guard soldiers in your prayers as this is going to be a very difficult time for them!
