Dear Friends,
I am now officially an Infantry Officer. I now wear the "Infantry Blue" cord on my dress uniform, and I am now qualified to actually lead men in combat (although I do have some more training before that). Anyway, the graduation ceremony was good, and my parents were there to see it. My parents and I have been able to hang out a lot since they've been down here, and they've gotten to meet a lot of my friends. One of those friends is Tim Speace who will be here for the next 3 weeks for Airborne School. He's gonna get done with this school and then move on to Ft. Campbell. It continues to surprise me how crazy life is in the Army. My path continues to cross with my friends during the most unexpected of circumstances...standing in line at the chow hall or walking around post. The Army is certainly a small world.
My parents leave tonight, and then I have to make some final preparations for my next school. I'll send out one more post before Nov. 5 to let you know what's going on. I plan on eating lots of food, sleeping plenty, and relaxing for the next 7 days. Until then...

This is Arellano. Just checking on how you are doing. I'm impressed by the Distinguished Honor and Ranger school slot. God has been giving you success and I know He will continue to. We will see if He does as much for me. MSL III year is...interesting. I am a little too ambitious for my own good, but I am getting there. Just want to let you know I am praying for you and this next big challenge for you starting Nov 5. God bless, brother!
