The Benning phase of Ranger school is finally over and I'm onto the Mountain phase in Dahlonega, GA. This is going to be the most intense of all the phases. We'll have two 4-day field problems with one day of re-fit in between. And, this time, we'll be climbing up mountains instead of hills...oh boy!
For the last week and a half I haven't had more than two hours of sleep per night. Some times a mere 15 minutes is all we can manage. Here, you learn just how much sleep and food your body needs to work. I have been extremely surprised how alert I am at 3 in the afternoon after having been up already for 12 hours - as long as I'm moving. Put me in a chair or on a knee and tell me to stay awake for a WARNO - that's a different story. The Lord has truly blessed me in my time here. Thank you for all your prayers and fasting. Please keep it up!
The course is going well this time and we have a good group of Ranger students to help out and get everyone their "GO's".
I look forward to being back with Elisangela at the conclusion of the course in December. This is the last time I'll volunteer to spend so much time away from home. I miss her too much. Thank you to everyone who has taken such good care of her.
Love,
-Michael-
