Friends and Family,
Ryan is doing well. The last week and the coming week have some significant milestones for the platoon, 3261. This past Saturday, they had their Initial Drill. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is basically their marching formations and techniques. Unfortunately, Ryan's platoon finished last so their DI's (drill instructors) were NOT pleased. According to Ryan, the squad leaders (which he is one of 4) and the Guide, got "slayed" for 45 minutes. He says they all threw up...no joke. He says other than that things are going really well for him. He has gained 9 pounds (which you all know that he needs) and is able to do 20 pull ups. I guess the days of me kicking his butt are over!!!
This week was swim week. Ryan is a strong swimmer, so I am sure that he did well in qualifying. Next week, they pack up and head for Camp Pendleton for Phase II, or field training. Phase II last 3 weeks and then they are in the homestretch with Phase III. Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a small update. Keep writing to him, he loves it.
Jamie
