Tyler got to see deer!!

All last weekend Tyler had a Land Navigation course. And then Monday night at 2 AM they were woken up to begin their course in "night-time" land navigation which lasted through Tuesday. He said that it was fun to walk around the woods and see DEER (which everyone knows that this is Tyler's domain)! He is getting lots of letters, and is staying encouraged! He said that everything is getting a lot better there, but that he'd still like prayer for the PT tests. On Wednesday they shot simulation ranges. And for those of you like me who have no clue what that means; it's an M4 hooked to an air compressor and shows you on a screen how you shoot. He said it was really cool, and that he was doing pretty good until his broke :)!
Bull and Teresa, Tyler received the post cards that Mrs. Loretta sent of the tropical paradises y'all visited and he said that it made him sick ;) haha!
He said that the food really isn't that bad (that is, of course, in his opinion :)). He has learned new ways of doing things like with folding clothes, eating, walking, standing, dressing, etc.! "It's going to be weird eating like a human again!" Thank you all for your constant prayers! With the Lord, he has made it this far already...he can do it!! God bless you all!

Deer? Guns? I'm surprised he didn't take a shot! Just kidding! I'm so proud of him and can tell by your posts that he's learning a lot! I love that he's realizing his dream and I'm so very, very proud of him! Postcards from tropical islands? I'm sure that did make him sick! (had I gone, I would've sent them too). Prayers are going up.......

Another post! THANKS Brittany! I'm so glad to hear he's doing good! I know he did enjoy that shooting! And, I bet when he seen those deer he was thinking, "If I could only shoot!". Ugh, that would be rough getting up that early to go out like that but I know he's being trained to do many things to meet the qualifications of a good soldier, and he will be! God is there with him! He's already a soldier in God's army, still being trained and always will be in training for that. Now, he's in training for the USA!!! GO TYLER!!!!! We Love you!
