The new cadets are in good spirits and enjoy refreshments after the Chaplains service. Rumor has it the Catholic Chaplains time is one of the best on post, based on the treats served. Michael writes often and expresses his gratitude for all the cards and letters he has received from all of you.
This past Sunday was special as it marked the half-way point of Beast Barracks (Cadet Basic Training). We received a phone call from Michael and he sounds great. He was relieved to have his first day off in 3 weeks and the ability to call home. Maybe more importantly he was able to get on Facebook. He thinks the worst part is behind him and he is beginning to enjoy his fellow new cadets. He reports the food is great and he even likes the army MRE's (meals ready to eat).
The next 2 weeks will be out in the field repelling down mountains and marksmanship with guns and big army toys. Please pray for the new cadets and all our servicemen around the world. Go Army!
