Here's an update from July 15th:

Matt wrote a longer letter this time. He sounded like he was doing good! He shares the "head" with 89 other guys and said that that is no fun. He said that sleeping arrangements are ok, and that the beds are comfy. He misses homemade food and fast food. He had a good Fourth of July. He got to go to the theaters to watch a movie and then went to watch the fireworks. He said they were pretty amazing! He said he is looking forward to playing Guitar Hero when he gets back. He got moved to the WFTBN(Weapons and Field Training Batallion). He has a few buddies he mentioned. He can see the ocean from the rack and said it's cool!
