Send another soon but leave the candy or poogybait out till I get off the range because sugar is hard on the eyes. You ask how long it took a letter to get here. It takes from three to four days. We shot pistols for record yesterday. And I got sharpshooter rating which is 75% of 450 points I got 84% missing expert by one point. That isn’t very important though, the 30 cal. rifle is most important. We threw practice grenades today and every one qualified. We leave the range a week from this coming Wednesday then we fool around a few days and then have Mess duty for a week after that a week of bayonet practice and then leave for our outposts.
