Nov 30 (Mon) – Day 26 (Week 4) - 1930

So today we got up to do pt. we were going for like 10 min when they stopped up and brought us back to the company. We then started running down the road, all the way back to where we had reception, which I later found out was about 4 miles. That was crazy and my legs still hurt. Anyway, we went there to get our berets so I’m excited to have it finally! After that we went and did EST. I’m not sure what that stands for, but it’s basically a big video game where we shoot M16s that are wired up to a computer. We had to group 6 out of 6 shots together, and I got it on my 3rd round. That was really good, since each round only had 3 shots each. I almost got it on my first 2 rounds, but I got nervous on the first one and forgot to control my breathing and the trigger squeeze. Tomorrow we shoot live rounds to group and zero our weapons. I’m not sure when we qualify, but I thought I heard that it’s this Saturday. If that’s true, that’s crazy. I also don’t know what we would do next week.

Anyway, I got my first letter today. Actually, two. My family decided to each write one and send them in the same envelope, and then my grandparents sent me a card too. It’s nice to hear from everyone again.
