Hey everyone, it’s been a few days.  I’ve been pretty busy.  I think the last time I talked to ya’ll I had just finished stuffing my face with junkfood.  Unless I wrote ya’ll since then but I don’t think I did.  Anyways, on Monday we got fitted for our class A’s.  Those are the Army dress uniforms.  It was pretty cool.   I’m looking forward to getting to wear that thing around.  I looked good.  Haha.  Tuesday we had grenade training all day.  Including smoke, riot, and frag grenades.  Throwing a real grenade and feeling the ground shake was a rush.  I scored expert on the hand grenade course which felt good.  That’s just one more thing I don’t have to think about anymore.  Today was another fun day.  I was on range detail which means I got to eat breakfast without a drill sgt. around.   Got to take my time and eat a huge breakfast, including a big bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.  We did buddy team live fire.  That’s where you and a battle buddy go through a course together, laying down cover fire for each other, ducking behind cars and buildings.  It was fun.  I will try not to go like 4 days without writing again but I’ve just been busy.  I think it might slow down the next couple days so I will try to catch ya’ll up on some of the details later.  I’m gonna get to bed, write again when I can.
