Day 5- Relaxing and Goodbye

CW's flight earned Warrior Status
Its only given to two flights out of the whole graduation group
It means they excelled on their PT and tests they had to take
They did so well at Beast they earned it
Because of that they were given a town pass on Sunday also when everyone else had to stay on base
We picked him up Sunday morning at 9 am
Had to run a few more errands on base
Went out to eat
And then all he wanted to do the whole day was just relax and watch a movie
Not walk around in his dress shoes
They spent 8 weeks going non stop and he was beat
He also had to do 4 loads of laundry and pack before he left that next morning at 0300 hrs for a bus ride to San Angelo
Everyone else went and toured a zoo that was in the area
We stayed at the hotel and watched movies on his lap top and took a nap!
Jackie and Braun stayed with us for a while because they had to fly out that day for work
We had our teary goodbyes and they left
His parents came back and we ordered pizza for dinner
Just hung out some more and relaxed
He finished up all his laundry and it was time to say goodbye
No one was ready for it and nobody wanted to
He had to be back in his dorm at 6pm this night
We all met there
It sucked
I wasnt ready to say goodbye
It was too hard
I cried
His mom cried
His sister and dad cried
Nyla cried
I think we were all a bawling mess
He turned around one last time to see us all
And then Airman First Class Demorest is off to tech school for 6 months
His mom and sisters and I kept giving each other hugs and trying to laugh as we tried to stop our tears
4 days just really werent enough
We all went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and were all exhausted
Went back to the hotel and packed up to wake up at 0300 hrs to fly home
