On Tuesday at the air base, I got to go to where they have the firing range and the armory for the firing range. The armory for the firing range is not bigger that the vault, but it has basically the same inventory. I got to go into the firing range with Tsgt MCCULLEY. In the inventory I got to see and hold multiple weapons. Some of the weapons that I saw in the armory were the M249 Saw, the M4, the M16, and the .50 cal machine gun. In there, I was shown how they go about returning the weapons and how they are loaded and unloaded. Also, when we went to the firing range, they explained to me that when you are shooting, you cannot pass a red line on the ground because the firing range is on an air base, so if they pass the red line, there is a possibility of the bullet ricocheting and hitting one of the aircraft as they are flying. The next day on Wednesday, I went to see how they post blotters which is like a report of what happened on that day. After seeing how that goes, I was taken to the back gate to see the tiger teeth that they were planning on replacing. Soon after that, I went to meet up with DRESSIG, Sgt FRENCH, Sgt MARCOTT, and SCHAVEZ. I went with them to our power puff game in since they had lent us the razors and the armored vehicle. Since I go there, I am able to help my parents by letting them know that I know what I want to do and that they do not have to worry about me.

I'm so jealous of all the exciting things you get to experience. They are so giving. It is unbelievably generous. Loved seeing you at the game!
