Phase 3
Soon I will be leaving for the next phase of training. What we did here at Camp McCrady was great. We had an exercise toward the end that was a culmination of all of our training; medical, communications, combat, maneuvers, IEDs, etc. It was a lot of fun.
Anyway, thanks for reading for the last few weeks. I appreciate the comments and the e-mails from everybody. For the next two weeks though I will be incommunicado with no access to internet or phone. In fact, for part of it we won't have shower facilities. It's going to be pretty rugged from what we understand. I'll write again as soon as I get a chance. By then I'll no longer be in the States. Have a good next few weeks.

Safe travels Mark. It was so good to see you on Thanksgiving Day in Columbia, SC. All of us being together was a special treat. Hannah and baby Violet flying in made it memorable for you I'm sure. We are so proud of all that you are. God speed. Love, Mom

Dear Mark,
Thinking of you, and though at the present time you are incommunicado, I am writing to let you know (for next time) that you are in my thoughts and prayers each day. I also want to thank you, Mark, for your courage and integrity. This expression of appreciation, falls egregiously short in thanking you for what you are doing, but also for being you.
Yes, each morning I see your face when I brush my hair
Yesterday, I spent the day with your beautiful wife and daughter. Of course your little sweetheart, Violet, certainly has your smile
Love and kudos to our family celebrity 24/7, Pamela/Mom-in-Law
