Dear Mom,

Well I’m still in kinda of a sad mood because I didn’t get to talk to you yesterday. But today we spent seriously all day at the pre qualification and qualification range. They are saying that both scores are counting. That is if you get to shoot both days. The reason why I say that is because I shot a 39 out of 40 which is like, well people have been saying, phenomenal. The only reason why I missed one is because my rifle malfunctioned. Really really really aggravated me. It’s like knowing you could have done or gotten something but weren’t allowed. But a force of some kind. Then my ds wanted to fire my rifle for some odd reason and I even fired better than him. And they wouldn’t let me re-try when loads of people got to retry but most of them, well pretty much all of them, went qualified as an expert marksmen like me. But IT WAS A MALFUNCTION. One more person in the company got a 39 after a couple of tries and one person got 40 after a couple of tries. It just seems so unfair. But if I don’t get to shoot again tomorrow, I’m not that worried about it because I have to fire again at my duty station where it really counts and matters. But if I get a 40 here one of the DS here said they would buy a candy bar and soda for any who shot a 40. I really want that candy bar. But I will find out tomorrow. They held the mail today because it is kinda late. Really aggravated me too. Oh well. I’m gonna go to bed. I love you and miss you lots and lots.

Love ya
Jeremiah
