Report from Italy

Well, another week in Italy, another in the Army, and a full week of training for me this week. It wasn’t anything like that I saw at Ft Polk - a lot different. Let’s start with the weather. I saw sun, rain, snow, sleet and hail in the course of an hour tops on Tuesday and didn’t like it at all. I’ve been cold before and this really sucked. We crammed a week of any and all team and squad training into four days this week and it was hell. Slept like I was at Ranger school all over again. No more than 4 hours a night really and straight into training again. Haven’t had much time the past week to really see the sights, but four days coming up I’ll have more than enough time to go and see more sights which will be nice. I love you all and will tell more to come. So take it easy and have fun. Your grandson son, brother, and friend. Alex
