I got another letter in the mail from Earl today.
It was dated the 20th of October.
He mentions that so far he's having a pretty good time at Basic Training.
They have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning and only have 30 minutes to shave, shower make their beds and clean the entire barrack. Then it's off to do P.T. (Physical Training?) for two hours, were they complete about 20 exercises. After P.T. they head on over to the "Chow Hall" for breakfast, where they only get about 3 minutes to eat everything.
He mentions that they are starting to do some "fun" stuff though, like going through a team building course, where they have to go across different obstacles and work together as a team (after all, they are an Army of One, right?).
He also mentions that they had a class on how to use gas masks and that they are going through the gas chamber the next day. He seemed excited that they finally got their rifles: Colt M4 with a M68 CCO Optic (I'm not really sure what that means ... ).
My favorite line from this letter has to be: "I love you more than my drill sergeant loves to call me penis."
So that's about it, he wrote down his address again in the letter (making sure I didn't forget, I guess?). So, if you would still like his address, please feel free to email me or send me a message on Facebook.
