Dear Mom,

Well today was alright did some more live round shooting in the kneeling position. Right after I fired like 3 round, I got a wicked bloody nose and yeah so I did ok but not as well as I could have done. I still hit the target every time. Anyways besides that we finished pretty early and have just been BS’ing around doing nothing. I did finish cleaning my rifle pretty fast. And now it’s almost 5pm. I wonder what you just ate for lunch. J Been talking to my other black friend. His name is Phillip Razor. I think that’s his first name. Anyways he is pretty cool. 32 years old and has a lot of knowledge. Lately I have been talking to him about religion and then this bs. But uh he (like me) was born into the Jehovah’s Witness world. Now he is Islamic. We have been talking about it because I try to have an open mind about religion and I don’t know much about Islam. But we talk a lot. I’m one of the few people he actually gets along with. Mainly its because I know how to respect and I’m not a savage. That’s kinda what he said. But yeah now everyone is going to chow and I’m stuck up here on weapons guard. Oh and ummm damn I just forgot what I was gonna write. Damn and I just got done mapping this whole place and I still can’t think of what it was. Sorry I’m writing upside-down on this page. This pen kinda leaks through a bit and makes it hard to read. I noticed that on my last letter. I wonder when my relief is gonna come up and let me go eat. But anyways I hope everything is doing good. I wonder if Mike started driving yet. Hopefully I will get another letter from you. I do enjoy it so much when I get mail. Especially from you and when I really need it too. J. You really help me mort than you probably know. Well chow was pretty good. I had meatloaf. Suck they didn’t have any ketchup. But it was still pretty good. I dk if I’m going to be getting any mail tonight. Who knows it came pretty late last night. So it may be the same situation. We just found out that there is a concert on Saturday. I don’t really wanna go but it seems like I might have to go. I’m trying to save my money and stuff. So damn. The whole thing of not wanting any of us to became barrack rats. I dk. I’d rather spend the whole time talking to you. What ever seems like it’s gonna be harder than I thought to be able to save my money. They keep making us have to spend it. But I’m sure pretty soon here I’ll have some money to be put into the box. J. Well now I’m on weapons guard except I’m the only one up here and there is supposed to be two. Whop speak of the devil. Haha. Well I guess I gotta go to the ATM to pull out money. Might pull out $30 of so depending on how much I got. I know I’m getting $664 or close to that on my next paycheck. That’s another cool thing about the LES. Well I have to do a fireguard shift in an hour and then staff duty at 1am to 2am. So I should get some sleep. Sorry to use a little bit of this paper. Hopefully I can get some letters from you soon. Of course I miss you and wish I could talk to you.

Love ya
Jeremiah
