Letter From Reed

We got another letter from Reed. He has been so faithful about writing every week and letting us know what is happening...it is such a relief to hear from him. Last week he passed his rifle training test which is extremely difficult compared to the army, he said...(there's lots of competition between the branches apparently...ha!). In the rifle test he had to shoot at a 12-inch circle 200, 300 and 500 yards away. To put that in perspective, 300 yards is the length of three football fields! Basic Warrior training is coming up in two weeks and Reed said that's really intense. He has only about 30 days left until graduation. On the Sunday before he graduates he gets "base liberty" so if he can get to a phone he will call us. Yeah!
