Why Hello Everyone :D
Lets start off this update with talking about the heat down
in Georgia. The good news is the heat hasn’t been bad for D. The hottest it has
been down there is 103. And that day they did stuff in the bay. So he didn’t
even see the heat of the day. So not to worry the heat isn’t affecting him. :D.
That’s some good news. He says the worst thing right now is all the Georgia
bugs, snakes and spiders. He’s got bug bits from who knows what kind of bug.
And he said there are bugs he’s never even seen before. That it’s almost like
Avatar. :D I thought that was pretty good. He has been doing ops and ambushes
on roads. Or a raid in a mock village. He spent a week doing FTX. Basically
like actual war. He would set up camps and move. They did this against other
platoons. So they would kidnap each other and their stuff. His platoon did the
best and didn’t get anything stolen. So that’s pretty sweet :D He said he was
really smelly and dirty. But in the end his platoon didn’t get overall best
score :/ oh well :). Starting
Honor Hill. They started at 1am carrying water cans, ammo cans, rolling massive
tires, massive logs and people on litters, (medic stretchers). They did that
for about 9 miles got to the checkpoint and dropped all of it off. Then finished
the last mile and a half on foot. He said it wasn’t the hardest thing in OSUT
at all. So that’s pretty sweet. Once they got to the top of Honor Hill they
received their blood rifles. There was a big bon-fire and a blood red sunrise
behind them. He felt so much pride and accomplishment it was really awesome. As
he should that is an amazing accomplishment :D Then they has a couple weeks of
recovery which it wasn’t recovery from what he’s said to me. They didn’t get
much sleep at all. LAME!! But on the bright side he is DONE with OSUT. He has
earned his blue cord for an Infantrymen. And was able to graduate at the top of
his class :D YAY!! Though he didn’t get to graduate with Honors. He was right
up there. YAY, D!!!
Let see our prayer requests are.
1. Our Marriage to keep growing strong.
2. His knees. On the note with his knees they are NOT in bad
shape. They are just sore. He said
everyone has something that’s sore. We just want prayer so they are not more
than sore :)
That’s pretty much it for prayer. Everything is going well
and moving along. And moving ON-TIME :D That’s awesome!
Love,
DAB
