Update trooper at benning [View all]

I ran into his mom this morning walking the boys to bus stop. She invited me to stop on way home troops mom and I had a coffee. I read his letters he has written his mom and he is doing well. She asked me to read letters, he is well osut infantry by my count probably next week they will be heading to range. for BRM not sure been thirty years on my part. I think we went to qualify with m-16 week 4 it has been decades. Brm basic rifle marksmanship, so reading troops letters he has gotten his head around the hey I have to do this and make it. I was same back in 84 he will be fine, Just update take care all.
