From Ashley:

July 27th-
He said that last week they were getting ready for field week so that is why he wasn't able to write. He explained to me what they have been doing at the WFTBN (Weapons and Field Training Battalion). The first week was grass week where they learned how to aim. The second week was table week where they learned how to shoot sitting, standing, kneeling, and prone. The third week was field week which just ended. He sounded excited about becoming a third phase recruit and about the fact that there are only 21 Training days left...yes!! :) He mentioned to Travis that bootcamp is easier then he thought. The hard part is always being busy. He says he can't wait to be home again :)
