Day 9, someone likes candy!
We received two letters from Reggie today. We are so proud of him!! They finished up their second mandatory foot march which was 8 miles! They did a campout after their march and did training on how to react to direct enemy fire, and how to react to indirect enemy fire, how to cross a linear danger area, and how to search an EPW. He is loving his rifle, and this week: “we go out to throw live hand grenades, fingers crossed that I don’t blow myself up.” [momma did not laugh at that comment!] He has been fitted for his dress uniform, and has received his black beret for graduation. Have I mentioned how proud I am of this young man?! 8 days until he arrives home for holiday leave, and I cannot wait.
This has been a long week at work, and I am so happy to have the weekend off,…and it is going to be a wonderful weekend!
Until tomorrow, here’s to a wonderful weekend ahead of us.
