Lee's Progress

Lee has successfully completed Army basic training and is now about one week into MP training. I don't know if this is good or bad but Lee received the top score in using grenades. He also did really well in weapon accuracy (it is my understanding that he would have had "sharp shooter" if his gun hadn't jammed). His graduation date is still scheduled for April 22nd.

I know Lee is missing home, but now that basic training is over, life isn't quite as regimented. At least he is allowed to take longer showers (rather than 30 second showers) and has more free time on Sunday.

He still has a good chance of being deployed over seas either before, during, or after he attends college. Because of this, please send him positive thoughts in hopes that he is not sent to one of the more dangerous zones.

Lee really enjoys getting letters and has appreciated all the well wishes from friends and family.

Here are the original instructions in how to write to Lee:

Remember to write a 1 on the back of the envelope so it gets to him.
On the front:
Pvt. Kulas, Lee 1
E-787-1
Bldg 932
Fort Leonard Wood, MO 654
73

Remember, no food, no books, basically nothing fun in the envelope except your letter.
