Week 10

Well, we are more than a 1/3 of the way through with the Academy training! There are a lot of fun things going on at the Academy this week. The Senior Cadets graduate this Friday which is providing a ton of motivation for Ryan and his fellow Jr. Cadets. In two weeks, Ryan will officially be a Senior Cadet as a new class of Juniors takes their place. This is a huge milestone in the process!
Ryan received his gun yesterday!!! As you can imagine, he was really excited. They practiced pulling it out, loading and unloading it, and today they began learning how to take it a part and clean it. He's not sure when they will head to the firing range. Maybe next week once they receive their vests. They also got to meet with the different uniform companies this week to start talking about ordering their CHP uniforms!
We're entering the part of the process that is getting really exciting yet also very challenging at the same time. Please continue to pray for Ryan as he feels stressed and overwhelmed at times.

Love,

Ryan, Karissa, and Baby H!
