Aug. 22nd 2010

I was so excited to talk to you. Sorry we got cut off. (Shani: His battery died) I liked talking to the kids too. They are doing so good. I hope after talking to me they'll be alright. I know sometimes it makes Todd sad. I'm up for fireguard tonight from 10:00-11:00 and then 4:00-5:00. The 1st sergeant just came in and checked on us. They check in now and then to see if anyone is falling asleep on duty. The other night a female captain came in to check. I'm always nervous, because I have to keep my battle buddy awake. Anyway this week will be very busy. We will be shooing almost everyday. We have M-16 qualifications on Thursday. 20 shots prown supported (that's resting on a sandbag) 10 shots prown unsupported (laying down without a sandbag)
10 shots kneeling on the ground. The targets will be fliping up and down from 75 meters to 300 meters. 75 meters stay up for 3 seconds, 150 meters stay up for 4-5 meters seconds, 200 meters 5-6 seconds, 250 meters 6-7 seconds and 300 meters 8 seconds. Sometimes two come up at once and you have to shoot them both in the time. 23-29 out of 40 shots you qualify. 30-35 out of 40 you get marksman. 36-39 sharpshooter and 40 out of 40 eagle eye. I will let you know how I do.
Wendesday we have our 2nd PT test. I will see if all these workouts are paying off. Maybe I can talk longer next Sunday.
I think we test for Blue Phase this coming Saturday. I hope so because we would get so many more privleges. I am excited to see you when I graduate. I hope you don't make any plans with anyone while I'm with you. I don't care if you hang out with others when you drop me off, but I just want to spend my free time with you and my parents.
I am trying to rest my body before the PT test on Wednesday. I hope someone (or me) won't mess up and get smoked. Normally unless you mess up bad they don't smoke you before a PT test. We'll see.
