HAPPAY BURFDAY TO DA PEEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I thought this looked like a Japanese color)
According to blogger those letters are "HUGE". I don't know if I concur with that description. Sorry to Peeg for this message being two days late (two days for you, one for me) since he does now live not only in the land of Godzilla and "Pokémon", but also in the the land of tommorow!!!! In this land Da Peeg is not only one year older and a day ahead of all of his American-based relatives, but he is also of average height. So, Hanpy Burfday!!! And remember, if you see Godzilla simply challenge him to a swimming contest, but whatever you do don't challenge him to a hot dog eating contest. From what I've seen randomly on TV those Japanese are extremely proficient at winning eating contests.

Ranger Challenge is over for another year. We finished third overall this year. I think that is the first time we've placed since 1996. We placed first in three events: 1.)APFT (Army physical fitness test) with an average score of 321(I think, the max is 300. 2.) Weapon assembly/disassembly with an average time of 1 min. 17 sec. (max is under 2 minutes). 3.)10K ruck run, 35lb ruck with an M-16 in BDU's, boots, and an LBE (load bearing equipment) our time was 1 hour 44 sec. the second team to finish was about 5 minutes behind us. Overall I'de say we did pretty well. We are definately alot better than we were Freshman year and last year. Next year we might be able to take 1st. I'm just happy that I'll have a little more free time during the week now. Free time that will inevitably be taken up by some other form of work...

SEE YOU!!!
