Dearest Jessie,

I'm having a pretty tough day.  My back is really hurting.  I haven't told anyone yet but I think I might have to.  Going to sick call is an all day process and I don't want to miss something important.  If I go to see a doctor about this there is a chance I could be medically discharged and I have worked too hard for too long to let my back mess all this up.  We go on 4 different day marches with ALL of our gear.  The last one is a 15K.  I don't know if my back can handle packing 80 lbs. of gear for 6 or 7 miles.  My emotions have been running a little high today as well so when I didn't get any mail from you that tipped me over.  I went to the bathroom and broke down.  I prayed really hard for help.  I really want this to work!

I miss you so much.  That would be one good thing if I was discharged.  I would get to see you and my little girls.  How are they doing?  Is Maren laughing anymore?  Is Jane still throwing fits?  Are they getting any worse?

We did an obstacle course or team work exercises today.  It was pretty fun.  Things like getting everyone from point A to point B using 2 2x6's and a rope without touching the ground.  My group did pretty well.
