More News!

So to my surprise I got an email from Bryan, but not only one email, but two.  He was setting up his email account for one of the classes he will begin next week.  He is not sure how often he will be able to use the account, but sure it will be a privelege his class will have to earn. 
He states "It's pretty tough here, but I'm surviving. We only get about 4 hours or less of sleep a night, and then we drill and get thrown on our faces (or in the sand) for several hours a day. It's definitely tough, but I'm hanging in there. Please pray for me, I'll need all the help I can get."
His days consist of waking up at 4a, starting physical training at about 5a ("it lasts for about an hour, and is positevely brutal"). M, W, F, and S they run, and T and H they do strength and conditioning. After which they go to breakfast, and then do some admin stuff. They usually drill in for about an hour, during which time they spend about half of it on their face doing pushups and getting screamed at. After lunch, he will start having classes, drill for another hour, then have dinner. After dinner, they have most of the rest of the evening to study and prepare their things for personal inspections. Their supposed to go to bed at 10p, but they always have so much to do that they don't get to bed until around midnight.
Bryan's graduation date is set for Dec 18, so with hard work and your prayers he'll be home for Christmas!

Oh-that sounds horrible! But I'm sure it will get better as he gets the routine down better! Poor Bryan - we will definitely pray for him and send him some care packages! I'm excited he will be home for Christmas - that is great news! Both of you hang in there!
