Monday

Today was a shorter day. We went on a road march with helmet, body armor, pistol belt and ruck sack and after that some obstacle courses. Needles to say my dogs are doing some major barkin. We have been doing some very sobering things. We have to have our DNA taken to id our body. Also Al Quida wants to capture a chaplain pretty bad and we have to know what to do if that situation occurs. (PRAY THAT IT NEVER DOES) We have also started to learn about IED's and what to do if hit or if those around us are hit. There are many things that we know about but until these things start to be reality they wont affect us much. It makes dependence on God take on a deeper meaning. The need for Him, the desire to stay close to Him seems to be more urgent. Some of the students here will be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan soon after graduation, Pray for these Godly men and women as they share the Gospel with those fighting for our freedoms!

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
