Letter arrived Tue July 15

Got another letter today. I got none last week and he explained why: He only has free time on Sunday, he says. He was really depressed and just gelled out during free time. I am so glad to hear from him. I know he is really busy and he is having a much harder time than me, but it is really hard for me as his mom to experience this from my end. Getting an update helps.

He is a 2nd phase recruit. It's his second of three weeks at Pendelton (as opposed to MCRD) and he says all they are doing is shooting this week. (??I guess they go back to MCRD after this phase??)

Matthew sounds like he is growing up A LOT. From some things he wrote, I gather he sees things from a more mature perspective.

Matthew REALLY wants Grandpa & Grandma to be there for graduation!

Can't wait 'til the end of August when I see my man-son!
