I received another letter from Jonathan this week. This letter is dated March 04.

Jonathan completed his second PT test and said he did “pretty well. So that’s always good.” He is also obviously in a lot better shape than his old man as evidenced by the following:

• 56 push ups
• 68 sit ups
• a 12:55 two-mile runHe said his two-mile run was the third-fastest in the entire company. He was hoping to complete the two-mile run in under 12 minutes when he did the third PT test. I think I would simply die…Jonathan said he spent one day last week putting up rolls of razor wire in the pouring rain. “That was an experience for sure,” he said.

The Basic Training food budget should explain why the national debt is what it is. Jonathan’s breakfast on Wednesday consisted of:

• pancakes (probably not as good as Grandma’s though)
• eggs
• bacon
• hash browns
• yogurt
• two lil boxes of cereal
• banana
• a granola bar(or two)
• maybe a muffin or something depending on how fast he gets to breakfast

Well, those are the highlights from the last letter. I will post more when the next letter arrives.
