First Week

Well I made it thru my first week of OCS, and it really hasn't been that bad. The school is adapting their techniques and trying a new concept on my class. They are giving us much more responsibility to conduct our training and as such we have more freedoms than other cycles before us. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Sometimes little direction can lead to chaos and confusion...that is our challenge...we have to keep ourselves in check and all work together. :) So far it is going pretty well.

We took a physical fitness test and also completed an obstacle course. The obstacle course was a ton of fun - rope climbs, sliding down ropes, jumping over objects, balancing beams 10 feet off of the ground...good fun training. :)

Please keep one of the members of my platoon in prayer. I don't want to give out all the details, but please pray for him. The Lord knows what he needs. God continues to bless me here and my family back home. Be in prayer for Danae and the girls as they travel next week to West Virginia.

Being away from my girls is difficult, but I know that I am exactly where the Lord wants me so that makes this all worth while. :)

I love and miss you guys.
