I got a letter today. Dustin seems to be in good spirits and said that it is either getting easier or he is getting used to it. Either way...it is a good thing! He said that he got his M16 on Friday and that he can already take it apart and reassemble it in less than 2 minutes. He is hoping to cut that time with more practice! He said the food is good, but you get 2-3 mintues to eat per meal. After lights out, they clean and fold clothes by flashlight. He now realizes that he hates folding clothes...I tried to have him practice before he left, but he wasn't having it! He won a competition where they had to face another trainee at "the position of attention" and whoever moved first lost. He won...over 20 minutes before the other guy moved! He earned 5 extra minutes on his next call. Hopefully they'll give it to him! He has already reached the goals for Honor Grad in sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups. Just the mile left...he needs to shave some time. He says he has gotten 9 shots and has lost quite a few pounds although he doesn't have a number! He said "hi" to everyone!
Thank you for your prayers and support thus far! Please keep it up! 5 more weeks!!
