Dear mom,

It was so nice getting to talk to you for a bit today. Like we actually got to talk and everything for longer than 5 minutes. Made me miss home even more. Oh well, I can’t believe that I haven’t gotten any mail from you. I wonder if they are holding mail or something I don’t know. Maybe it just takes a while to process, Gah. I’m so jealous that you were at Fatty Patty’s when I called you. I have actually been like thinking about it and craving it. If I get back we’re are going to be going there. Ha ha so I checked my bank account and I only had 11 dollars in there so I can’t send you your money yet. But I’m supposed to be getting paid on the 1st so yeah but I do still wanna do that box and money. I think that’s gonna be the best way to save my money. I’m sure you agree with me and that way I won’t be able to spend it at all. I might wait to get a car but maybe not since I’m probably going to deploy so why would I need to buy a car when I can’t drive it. I will just have to figure it all out in time and such. I just get so impatient thinking about it ya know. And I’m not planning on getting a new car either. Just another Subaru with a new engine and then later on an older suburban and I wanna get a new engine for that, and then after that I wanna get a bug that’s in really good condition and get a porche engine for that and yeah. Then I might just might get a motorcycle. But that’s not a fer sure thing yet. Prolly won’t but who knows. But it definitely not gonna be the first thing I get. No No. So I went to church today. For no reason really. Mainly to get out of the barracks and I took a nap in there. But it was interesting, very weird by interesting.

So I kinda went to sleep last night but yeah I just got out of chow at lunch and we have been doing more combatives today. Just learning the basics maybe. We might learn some submission moves and stuff like chokes. But yeah. It’s kinda hard. We have to learn all this stuff and be able to teach it back to the instructor the way they taught us to be able to be certicified. And that only to be certified for level 1. There is 4 levels. If you get to level 3 or 4 then you can pretty much definitely beat anyone anysize anyday. But yeah I’m just getting the basics down. Ahh so I got five of your letters today.I think that the last one I got was on the 18th. So it takes a little bit to get here. And thank you for the stamps. I should be fine for a few days. It was so nice to get the letters tho. I almost cried. Smith says hi and when you gonna let him spend the night? Bunkmate Serrato says thank you and god bless. He is getting medically discharged tho. He says he wants to get all fixed then go for the Air Force instead. That’s what he wanted to do anyways. Thank you for sending the address to others. One kid had a bunch of letters and they were addressed wrong and he had to do 50 push ups for each one. Came to a total of 950 I think. I did 100 of those for him. I’m sorry to hear about your spectra but at least it wasn’t Wes’ fault this time. I bet it was nice having that big truck. Wish I could’ve rode around in it to HD with you. Good to hear that you are getting to spend some time with your alleged grandson’s. Funny to hear about Ann’s tooth. That aint genetic. And now she is going to have one good tooth. Yeah we have heard about the storm and had some rain and thunder storms a few times. I don’t think we are going to be helping with the national guard work. That would throw us off the training schedule. Cant have any of that. Good to hear about Mike. Hope he gets a job too. And that the bankruptcy thing is over with. I bet its nice to have a clean slate. Try not to build up again tho. I’m sorry about the puppy. It happens tho I hope you didn’t lose any money over it. Your advice was very helpful to me and I hope that I get more as more problems may come up. They are very true tho and I will more than likely re-read them. I smiled so big when my roster # was called out. Then again and again and again. They must group them up. I think the letters go to MEPS in Portland then processed over to here. I dk it’s a weird system just like the army. I’m not going to write back to them all individually tho. Only I will when I get them on separate days. I miss you bunches. Thank you for the pictures of the dogs. That made me laugh. I miss the dogs too and Sadie. I hope she won’t have to get used to me again, but she Prolly will. But then again she did know my sent. That’s what made her stop barking. So I heard that we know about our duty station on our 5th week. But that’s also more talk to so I don’t know. I don’t really know what Wes’s dad went in for but I do have a few guesses. Sorry to hear about Fran. Yeah OK would be better for her. I have a ruck march tomorrow. That the one with the big bag and all that shit and my bullet proof vest and stuff. I saw Christina a few times when I was at your house. I think Dan’s little brother is living there too, but he friend said he was Prolly going to his parents for a while there to get back on his feet. But who knows. Its not like Shelby didn’t used t bark. Yes I will pay you back for my bill. That the first thing I am doing with my money. My DS’s (there are three for my platoon) are kinda getting cooler. Along with the weather. The sun still burn. My feet are fine now. I don’t know when I will get to call you again but I really do look forward to it. I was wondering when we get to use our cell phones but I don’t know. Well I am gonna go to bed. But I will Prolly write you tomorrow.

Love Ya.
Jeremiah
Your fav.
