Hello, everyone! We just got off the phone with Warren from his half-way call. He’s doing GREAT! He sounds happy and he says things aren’t as physically hard as he thought they might be. There are still very challenging days, but he’s really doing well.
We’re learning that there is a big lag between when Warren writes letters and when we receive them. Here’s his week 1 update, which arrived to our house a few days ago but we were out of town. We should have another letter update within a few days. Some of the experienced West Point parents suggested sending the cadets with these form letters to help them quickly get a report home that includes the information parents want. It now seems like a really great idea since Warren definitely is in a crunch for time. The “smoke sessions” he mentions are intense physical exercise intervals, including holding the down position of a push-up for 30 seconds at a time, etc. The Cadre is the leadership of their summer training.
I just caught up on ones I missed. These are fabulous!!
