Mom.
Well first of all my feet hurt. BAD They are all swollen and shit then I got my boots yesturday whick sucks cuz if they weren't swollen I would be able to enjoy them. Other than that I am pretty sure that I am going to call you tomorrow since we can do that on Sundays. I think. I can't wait to get to training, thats where the fun starts. :) So I just found out that one of Dan and Christina's roommates is quitting. He just doesn't like it or something. All I know is I already got my head shaved so it's a little late to turn back now. Haha. Plus if I were to quit I would owe them some money and they would take away all my cool shit. The drill sargent told us that infantry men have the best job. They shoot things, blow shit up, drink beer, and have sex with girls. Haha. I thought that was pretty funny. But the main thing is that everything will get so much better after training. That's what I keep telling myself. Because I know it has to be close to if not true. Haha. I just hope I can make it. I can't wait to get letters from you. I'm sure you will be able to talk some sense and stuff to help my head and such. The thing is, is that I don't know how long it takes for letters to get to ya and such. Hopefully it isn't too long cuz I wanna be able to hold actual conversations with you. I just found out that we get a phone call today so Im going to be calling you I think. I am trying to get used to the weather here. I found out that it's no the heat but the humidity that is getting to people. That and the food from chow. Today I saw a mouse run across the kitchen floor. I'm hoping that I will go to a different chow hall when I get to my training. The food isn't even that great which sucks. And I almost puked when I was eating last night. But I think that had to do with one of the shots. But the chills weren't to bad for the heat haha. So I just called and talked to you for the first time since I been here. I write these letters at different time during the day so yeah. Some dudes just came in and talked to us and they graduate pretty soon. Its funny cuz they said the worst part of the whole thing is what we are goin through right now. I thought that was pretty funny. That and they said time really flys by when you are actually doing training and all that stuff. It kind just made me more excited for it and stuff. This guy and me are leaning up against each other like bubba and forrest :)
