I'm Getting Paid For This?


Dear Friends,


This week's training was great. I got beat up doing combatives with the rest of my platoon. I relearned lots of stuff dealing with rifle marksmanship. Above all we get to run around in the woods next week (Land Navigation Stuff) and shoot at the firing range. Of course the weather is still hot here, but it's funny how 80 degrees and sunny feels cool after a few 98 degree, 100% humidity days. I often times have to remind myself that I'm getting paid for doing this stuff. At times the routine can drag and the field conditions can be ruff, but I daily remember just how lucky I am. I am doing something that I love...which is something many people can't say.


What else? I'm getting closer with my platoon. I'm gonna list the people in my squad at the end of this post so that you can pray for them by name too. They are all good people...some of them a little "edgy", but they really all seem pretty good. Then again, I get along with most. I'll try to get more posts in with more detail of what I'm doing. Just continue to pray for my attitude, confidence, and peace. Thanks.
