May 5th, 2025 Dear Michael, Hey Mikey! I'm sorry I haven't been able to write to you more. Things have been busy for me since I completed training and got shipped out to this Unit. I had gotten in-country. Wish you could've came with me for your assigned station after graduation. Enjoy The Sandbox out there on the coast! Haha! Things have been going very well for me. I got assigned to a good Platoon that has been looking out for me since I got here. My Sergeant who got me in-processed to the unit even got me hooked up with some newer equipment, so I wasn't slinging led with hand-me-downs. Obviously, I can't go into too much detail because of OPSEC, you know how it is.. But we've been seeing relentless contact with the Russians. I wasn't anticipating so many firefights this fast after getting boots on the ground. Yet here I am stacking bodies already! I even got the chance to drag some of my buddies off the line after they caught one or two to the vest. Rumors around the FOB is that we're probably gonna be at it for a while, and constantly, so I'll try to keep you in the loop as much as I can with letters. I expect to hear back about how things are going in 3/5 for you in your next letter Brother. Until then, I attached a picture one of my buddies took on FOB in between trainings. Rah.
