Thank you so much! God bless your son.

As you know Teddi has been at it for 3 weeks now at West Point. 3 more to go for beast 2. It was a hard phone call yesterday and we just have to stay positive. Would anyone of you be willing to send her a letter or post card. of encouragement. She knows about the website and my long time here. It would truly lift up her spirits! She loves the woods and hunting! We call her Teddi. Thank you all. Burt Cadet THEADORA C. CARNESI Alpha company 2 P.O.Box 0437 West Point,NY 10997-0437

Yesterday marked the halfway point of Beast. My daughter and three other girls went to a graduates house for lunch and some down time. They were given back their phones so we had over an hour with her. She passed the physical part of training. They just don't get much sleep. 4-5 hrs a night I could see she was exhausted. Mentally it weighs on her especially the part of being home sick. She said I will never take another person for granted in my life. She has three weeks to go. Some kids dropped out just too demanding. It was a rough day for this old guy my heart broke for her. These next few weeks are a lot of field training so it might be more exciting and the time will go faster. Thanks for listening! FL

Good luck with the pool. I always liked them very relaxing .

I'm zero 30 days to moving up to the cabin. I've been up here for the last 4 days. My brother asked how ya doing? I was like there is no noise except the wind and wildlife. No leaf blowers mowers traffic. My only problem was the guy who was going to build my garage will only do the foundation. My neighbor grabbed me and said I'm introducing you to an old Amish friend. Brought plans with me. He and his family were so nice. He is coming up with a crew to get it done. Just waiting on price. My dogs love it here and the view is out of this world! Spent the afternoon down at my neighbors new pond. His grandkids were there so I stoped and got a 50 pack of DD munchkins! I was their best friend! The view I have is priceless and thank the Lord for it!

Quick update. We got a surprise call Monday from her. They let all the Plebes call home. They start at 4 am and end at 10 pm. She misses us so much. Little sleep so everyone is emotional at some parts of the day. Loves land navigation and hiking in full gear with her M-14! Said she would change anything. That's good enough for me. Almost two weeks in!

Happy Birthday!

I have a bow buck that just made the book but I did not register it.

Probably not but you can never tell until the moment is upon you.

Happy 4th of July all.

The best!

Happy Anniversary Eddie. Wishing the both of you a wonderful night.

Great deer beautiful mount!

Very nice!

She wants to pursue international intelligence. Her mind is so open and will be exposed to so much it may change. For now that's the plan. Good luck to your girls, where they headed?

Thank you all. We get to talk for a while on July 17th. Next time I see her is (no contact) August 8th 12 mile March back from Basic training then We get the weekend with her on the 13th!!!

The Oath ceremony was awesome tonight. I couldn't believe they took her at 7 am and about 12 hours later what we were looking at. Amazing!

After a pretty quick and orderly checkin they brought about 75 cadets and families into an auditorium. There was a 2 minute welcome speech then they said "Cadets you have 1 minute to say goodbye" Then off they went. I'm mentally and physically exhausted.

One last one before I finish packing. Leaving at 3:15 now. Her speech at Graduation.

Divorced! But.... best friends. All good. We put our differences aside for our girls. It turned out well.

Yesterday was Graduation, today we leave for West Point. she gave a great speech. A Whirl Wind.

Vet said to leave the cone on for 3 weeks. Gave me some meds for infection and pain. He said its one of the toughest spot to heal.

I used the liquid skin for a week or two. It still opened up. I go at 10:00 I'll report back.
