Just got off the phone with you guys. Glad I was able to call. Oh, and one thing I forgot to tell you, please tell Terry (Josiah's friend) that I really, REALLY want him to come to my graduation, if he can.
This week we started BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship). We worked in grouping shots and zeroing our weapons. The 5.5 Ground has more power and kick then the .223 that we shot with John (another friend who would take our family shooting).
Other than that: PT (Physical Training) every day, three meals a day--one at the DEFAC (someone else will need to help the editor with that one), one MRE (meals ready to eat) which are better than I thought they would be, and the last one we either go to the DEFAC or bring food from the DEFAC to us.
Where I am living, Sand Hill, is like everything in the Army. It is named for a reason. It is a hill made of sand. And to top it off, no pun intended, we live at the very top of the hill. So, wherever we go is downhill, and when we come back it is all uphill.
We have also had some amazing rain in the area. Kentucky has nothing on Georgia rain.
Hoping to get a ton of letters. Can't wait to see you all again.
Josiah A. Wallis
P.S. Please send me return address labels. That would be a lifesaver. (This was probably intended for his immediate family but if you are writing and include your own address label, you might get a letter from him--never know!).
Fortunately, I will not have to do the push-ups that he has done. I can always pull the "disabled-veteran" card!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the actual words are, but the Acronym finder says that in the Army DEFAC stands for Dining Facility. :)
