Lisiiiieeeee! Lucy, Isra!
Hey, someone told me that the military was hard and that the only time that he has cried as an adult was when he was in the military.
Boot camp is hard and hectic. I got in trouble with the petty officer or chief.
He made me do exercises in front of everybody. It was very humiliating. He asked me my age and I said it: "32" you know, and he started saying I should be an example and whatnot. But, hey, long story short, he saw me smiling about something I thought was funny and drilled me hard with 2 other kids that were laughing at the same thing while we were in a sitting position for instruction.
Anyhow...I learned my lesson. I don't talk. I don't laugh. "When they are around". I really want to graduate with the group, you know? The punishment for people that don't obey orders here is a 3-week setback. And I don't want that to happen.
So on the same note: Graduation is on Nov 5th. I think family members are coming, you know, to see their loved ones. But for us, that we have little kids, it's different. It's more money. This is what I want or think, but you are always invited to participate in telling me what you want or think.
You know how life was kind of getting the same day after day. Well, now it is different. I really miss you and I would give my money to see you. But I want to see you when we can stay together for at least a couple of nights, you know. So I'm gonna find out if we can hang out and go to a hotel or something between graduation and "A" school. I don't know many things about transition, I just know that I want to graduate and move on with our life. So I don't blame you if you come, I just don't want to mess this boot camp up and make you sad.
I'm doing great now: I don't talk or smile, just focus and study until grad day. So, knowing all these details, it's your call to get tickets and prepare things so we can have a weekend from Friday evening until Sunday evening the 5th until the 7th.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your letter. It made my day. Heck, it's gonna make my week. It's really helpful to hear from you.
Have you talked to my family lately? How's your family doing? Are our kids pretty happy or are they making your life hard?
Always remember that I love you. And I miss you more than ever.
Muuuuaa.
