T-4 (July 17)

T-4

According to the Matrix, today (July 17) is a day to learn military history.  Information obtained online says that the recruits "will be heading to the PT field for the 'circuit course' where they will participate in running 40 yard sprints."  As his mother, I kind of wonder if Jeremiah will change as drastically as Captain America did in the film after being put in that tube. Scrawny going in , buff coming out. That could easily be Jeremiah! He wasn't scrawny, but he definitely was thin. Here's hoping he doesn't lose too much weight.

The form letter arrived at home today. It was postmarked July 13th, so there's about a four day delay in the mail. At least it was received and the family learned the address to send letters to and that Jeremiah is in Platoon 1054 of the Charlie Company. We'd figured out the company earlier, but now we know which of the six platoons in the company he belongs to.
