Dear Family,
Here is just a quick update on my training at BOLC (Basic officer leadership course) at Fort Lee, Va. Last week we finished some training on tactics and strategy. We did some training at the firing range and land navigation. This week is an intense week about SLICC (Sling load inspector's career course). We learn about how to inspect cargo carried by helicopters to resupply troops. Lots of material crammed in one week. It has my head spinning. We have our exams on friday so lets keep our fingers crossed. Also we are still waiting for Rada's petition to be approved so it can be sent to the embassy in Kiev so she can have her interview. Hopefully this can happen sometime in July or August. I have included some pics here at training. The smaller machine gun is the m249 and the larger is the .50cal that are typically afixed to gun trucks in a convoy. Also included a pic of my wonderful fiancee Rada. Hope all is well!

Wow! It's so amazing to see you with all that gear. I can't believe your learning all that! Good luck on your exams. Glad you and Rada are doing well.
Zach I hardly recognize you all garbed up! Be careful with those guns now.
