Dear Mom, Dad, Andrew and the rest of the *** and *** family:

I am doing fairly well in training. It's a hard life but I am adjusting to it. Tomorrow we start our training. The last week we have been going through processing and getting our gear. Tell Andrew that I've been doing drill with a real M1GA2 that can actually fire bullets. I know that God is watching over me in this, because I can feel his presence. I went to church on Sunday and just about started crying by how moved I was. Mom and Dad, I think I am going to graduate on time because I have been able to handle everything they've thrown at me so far. I have to go because we don't have much time to write but I love you all.

With much love,
Tim

P.S. Mom make sure everyone sees this.
