Fire Team Leader - Nov 17

Dear Family,

Thanks for keeping posted on how my things are at home.  I am glad to know my bills are correct/in order.  When you all get here there is a family day, and then graduation that Friday.  As soon as I About Face and guys rush on that parade deck and find me!  We can pack up and go.  I am pretty sure that I am going to want to just go home quick.

I will spend one day relaxing with you in Cali, but I want to get to the Snow and have Christmas home in Utah.

Today, we go back to the MCRD-it's the first day of Phase 3.  I qualified as an expert in the marksmanship, I scored a 320 our of 350 combined over both the know distance course and the combat course.  It was a lot of fun but I am glad to be in the home stretch.  I am so excited to see you all and for you to see me.  I am not sure I "look" different but I feel a lot different.  My self control and disciple are through the roof!  I am under 180 now.  We have completed all the hikes other than the final one up the reaper.  I don't know if I told you?  I am a fire team leader in my squad.  The guide wants to make me a squad leader, he says I do more as a fireteam leader than most squad leaders.  So that is exciting.  Other than that, I don't really have much news.

I am really starting to miss you all really bad.  I have one request, my first meal outside of here needs to be Chinese!   So do some research in the area so we can go straight there after I graduate.  Pack some of my clothes, my phone, some toe shoes.


I love you all!

Love, Tanner
