Keith's leaving for a bit.

I have to take him to the airport here really soon. We need to leave in the next 5 minutes actually...He's going to SERE Training, which stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance & Escape... Its a Special Forces Prisoner of War training at Ft. Rutger, Alabama...
This is what I found online when I looked up what it is:
You'll learn what plants are safe to eat, how to do things like construct shelter, build a fire, make rudimentary tools to help you do things like hunt, fish and defend yourself. You'll learn a lot about human anatomy and how cold, heat, wind and weather will affect your chances for survival and rescue. You'll learn how to signal your rescuers and how to leave natural signs that the enemy wont recognize, but a satellite or a reconnaissance aircraft will, so they know your alive. You'll learn how to conduct yourself if you become a prisoner of war, methods for withstanding mental and physical interrogation and how to communicate with your fellow POWs if the opportunity arises.

Our friends that have gone to this course before him said this:
*You'll be locked in solitary confinement for around 3 days, in a box or small room thats so dark you can't see your own hand.
*You'll be starved and lose an average of 25 lbs in this 3 weeks.
*You'll eat bugs, snakes, plants and have to evade and survive in the wilderness for as long as you can.
*You can't have any contact with your family for 3 weeks (which is in fact 2 weeks longer than Keith and I have ever had to go with no contact...)
*You'll be abused, mentally and physically and pushed to a limit you didn't even know you had....

I'm scared for him and scared for me...I don't want to be this alone. Of course I have Kate & Adam and my wonderful roomates but still, when he's gone, I feel alone anyways...
