A letter from Aaron!

I finally got a letter today. Aaron was very excited about what he has been doing. He wrote first about the Church he is attending and about he friend getting saved. Then he wrote to tell me about what they are doing in basic right now, "On Monday we went to a grenade range and practiced with a bunch a cheap small ones for ever, then we got to throw one real grenade. That was a whole lot of fun. Tuesday, we went to a range and learned how to fire a lot of machine guns and got to shoot a lot of machine guns that day. Which included the 50 cal. which was a blast. Today we learned how to use grenade launchers and an Anti-tank weapon. We didn't get to use any live rounds for the things we shot today, but it was still a lot of fun. " HE goes on to tell me about 8k marches and sleeping in the field for 3 days. Again, he calls it "FUN". I am so proud of my soldier. I am proud of what he is doing. They graduate from basic on August 30. I wish we could go and see him. It just isn't possible for us to travel to Missouri right now. Oh yeah, Pictures are courtesy of the company web site.
