I conquered the Treadwell Tower. It was really easy. We had to repel down a 60 foot wall and then climb or slide on some ropes courses. One we had to slide on top of one single rope. You had to leave one leg hanging down to keep your balance and then slide up or down the rope. We marched a mile adn a half with some of our gear and it really hurt my back. I was in a lot of pain and have been for a while. I have been thinking that this might get me kicked out of the Army, but I don't want you to worry, I think I have fixed it. If I purposely lean back with my shoulders it feels good. I just need to remember to sstand that way whenever we are standing (which is most of the day). I am hoping one of your letters will arrive tomorrow or maybe Wednesday.
Tomorrow is going to be a hard physical training day. I am ready. I want a good hard day. I have a goal to get the perfect score on the P.T. test. I need to run 2 miles in 13 minutes, do 75 push-ups in 2 minutes, and do 81 sit-ups in 2 minutes. I think I'm already pretty close on the push-ups. The sit-ups will need some work and the running will need a lot of work. The last 2 miles I ran was in 16 min and 30 sec.
For some reason we are getting up at 3:30 tomorrow morning and going to bed one earlier tonight. It might be to work out in the cool of the morning longer because it gets really hot here.
The new drill sergeant is not as bad as I thought. He came in going a little crazy this morning - tipping bunks over - mine included, but he is 5'5". So if he ever yells at me he will be looking up at me like the other 2 as well.
I love you more then all the luggage in the whole world.

P.S. What would you think about visiting me on a weekend while I'm in El Paso.
