The back of the envelope said, "Send NO food." after I sent beef jerky. So, that is a lesson for mom--do not send electronics, pornography, alcohol, tobacco, cookies or any food. Maybe they need toilet paper?
Letter from Josiah--
8/22
Sorry I have not been able to write.
Before I tell you what I have been up to, for anyone who wants to see a picture of me weekly--Facebook and use the search to look for SFT 15. There should be a group for the 1-50 Bible studies.

In other news, I got a 29 on the BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship). That is a good score but not amazing.
The two biggest things I need to ask prayer about is
*PT (Physical Training) test this Wednesday.
*The next request requires some background--The 1-50 battalion is made of six companies: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Echo, Delta, and Foxtrot (Me!). Each company has four platoons: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (Me!). The platoons have 45-55 people in them and each are made up of four squads: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (Me, yet again!).
This week our Drill Sargent fired our Squad Leader and he appointed me as the squad leader. It might sound fun and cool, but really, all it means is that I have to keep an eye on 11 other people and myself and make sure they stay out of trouble. It has been very stressful and I have no experience with anything like it. Please be praying for me.
Oh, and here is one of the targets I shot.
I also want Jonathan to send me a report on the IED that I told him about.
Love you all. Looking forward to graduation and family day!

P.S. Tell Terry that I got his letter and the Drill Sargent did not do anything. Better luck by sending a love letter with writing and lipstick on the outside.
