Letter 3

Hi Sweetie.

I'm having a li'l chat with some of the recruits I have met here at BC. Their names are Maxwell, Donahue, Zolac and my bunkmate that just got promoted to Yoman, which is kind of a clerk. They are cool. We help each other out and release our giggles once in a while. My favorite guy to chat with is Medeb. He's 33 years old. We always have good conversations. He's Muslim, but he's afraid of tell people about he's religion because "they", you know the "people" can just judge him or something. I like him. He's a nice guy. Has a wife that served in the army for some years, but now he decided to do it. He's regretting it a little because this is kinda hard to get. I mean to understand and to apply when you need it. Because is very stressing learning environment. We are all learning how to work as a team but we, in reality are individuals with individual minds and that is so hard to change. We are 86 recruits in this division. Division is just a group of recruits that sleep in a dorm, so we have 86 bunks in our large room and we all take a shower in 7-10 minutes. 44 go in first and the rest also get 7-10 min. So there's a bunch of guys trying to take a shower at the same time. It's chaotic, but again I guess this is the real military life.

Love you. Write to me soon. Send me a couple pics of you with the ninios.

Don't send them too big because they get to see 'em before. Just a quick look to make sure it is appropriate to keep, you know.

Anyhueis, muchos besos. I guess we are getting to call our families next week or so.

In the meantime, just letters I guess.
