This letter will be quick. Wake up is at 0330 tomorrow. We have our last PT test tomorrow, thenw e hit the field. Everyone has said it's going to be REALLY cold, but the Drill Sergeants said we're staying out there anyway. In a way, I hope we do because we'll knock out the training and won't have to redo anything. Then again, I wouldn't complain if we got a waiver for this portion and graduated like we should. I'm ready to be done.^M

Holy crap! The latest thing is some (read: most) of the guys are flashing their butt if they look and saying "faggot". I'm ready to be done. I don't belong here. And that's not the half of it ...^M

Since we've been back, we shot some big guns (AT4, M240B, M249, and M203), walked a long way, did two obstacle courses, had some classes on suicide bombers, and did quite of bit of PT. All that's left is the PT test, STX (a series of practical tests on everything we've learned) out in the field, the 15km (read: 22km) road march, and the Period 4 Inspection.^M

I can't wait to see you at graduation. I'm sorry my orders say I leave the next day. I have no idea what time I leave. On that note, the 97E (human intelligence) guys have a 2 MONTH holdover before their AIT. I really hope I don't. I will let you know.^M
