I also received a new self portrait.  He said he was really tired this day.  I do think they keep him busy.  When he does call, which isn't often, the calls are short and end with "gotta go" and he hangs up.  He is looking forward to having this part of things done and getting the next part over with.  He will be home for a short visit the 4th  week of June.  He is also sporting his new sunglasses that he purchased to take with him.

Training Pictures

Received a few new pictures.  This is a Humvee roll-over simulator.  There are actually people inside of this Humvee, not Shane, but some of the people in his unit.  When he was in it he was the gunner in the back.  He said there is a place for him to slide into, brace himself with his feet and hands, and then the passenger in front helps hold him in place.
