. . . And 3 more to go! :-) We found out that Caleb passed his Physical Test, which is tough. You have to get in so many sit ups, push ups, and run 2 miles in a certain amount of time to pass. Also, we heard that Caleb's squad won a River Crossing Competition (not easily won!) and we are so proud of them! Over the past few weeks, they've also had to do a 12 hour hike, Survival Days, a solo hike, and a 24 hour hike (with no sleep). Check out the ALERT blog to see lots of pictures of what his platoon has been up to lately - if you look carefully, you may spot Caleb in a couple pictures!
Just today we received our second phone call from Caleb. It was so good to hear from him! It sounds like things are going well and he's hoping to continue on to phase two after advancing from basic in mid-March. One thing that Caleb could use prayer on is his physical health - he said that he's had some really bad poison ivy (from the Survival Days). It started on his arm, and then spread to his legs and back and it sounds like it's getting better, but it must be pretty miserable for him. Also, pray that Caleb feels better from any kind of cold/flu (he said he was sick for a while). Thank you for your prayers!
