Charles just called!
He just finished Battle Stations, which lasted all night long, so was very hoarse, sounding tired but happy.
His big news is he was one of only five recruits in his division (out of eighty) to receive a Meritorious Advance to E-2 rank.
He also completed his final PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment), running a mile and a half in ten minutes and a bit, putting him in the top ten finishers.
As he put it, only "three days and a wake-up!" till graduation.
Can you believe it's been almost two months since he left?
Can't wait to see him on Friday!

Will do, Margaret!
And from the PA contingent, too.
It's amazing how quickly that time seemed to go!
Safe travels!
