Zac and Lindsay: Our Life As We Know It

Nightfighter Family,

I hope this note finds everyone doing well back home. It is Saturday night here which is very similar to Sunday, Monday, Tuesday…..night. While many of the days seem the same the companies are doing a good job of keeping things from getting too mundane for the soldiers. We continue to go out on missions every night, we get out to firing ranges as often as possible, we conduct safety stand down days and morale support days which helps to mix the days up a little bit. Many of the soldiers are doing a great job of getting themselves in shape. I go to the gym almost every night between midnight and two in the morning and we pretty much own the gym at that time. At any given time we will have up to 100 soldiers in there working out; many of you will get back a much different looking soldier in either weight or muscle mass. Many units here sponsor runs on Sunday morning, which we can rarely attend due to our schedule. We have decided to sponsor a “Nightfighter” Run which will take place at midnight; the date is still being set. The installation is going to pay for 800 shirts for the event, I am curious to see if we can get that many people outside our battalion up at the time of the night. The normal Sunday runners are usually sound asleep by midnight, which is really just the middle of our work day. I will keep you posted on the event as it gets closer. Speaking of shirts our unit PT shirts are in production now and hopefully will be ready to be shipped over here within the next three weeks. I believe we are having over 2,500 shirts printed for our unit.
Well I will write more in a few days, rest easy knowing we are all fine here.
