Today we received two letters from Chris, one for Daniel and the other for Julia. He sounds a lot better than the last letter we got from him. At least he sounds a little more upbeat. He is on his 7th day of training and only 72 more to go.
Today he had a 2.0 mile run as well as training on upper body strikes. Part of the training now consists of Marine Corps Martial Arts Program which he will learn throughout boot camp. The rest of the week is a lot of classroom work on Marine Corps Leadership and Values and on Saturday he will have his first 5 kilometer conditioning march with his entire gear on his back. It will be tough, but we are all pulling for him.
