Early Start

This morning started early. We were waiting in formation at 4:50 am. The formation looked amazingly poor by army standards. We loaded buses (sorry for those of you hoping I'd have to walk everywhere), and we were taken to have blood drawn. Afterwards, we spent several hours doing the most important work of the week (filling out financial paperwork so I begin getting paid). After a couple of lectures about nutrition and hydration, we were taken to buy our uniforms, which hurt. I didn't get my class A or Dress Blue uniforms.

Formation tomorrow is at 0450, so I better get my uniforms put away and get ready for bed.

Hey slime, looks like you got a pretty lucky pick in barracks. Don't tell me Army life is too hard. We;re proud of you, both for the service of our Lord and also for our country. If there is every anything we can do for you, we will do it. I love you brother as a friend, patriot, and brother in Christ.

It looks like you have nice quarters. And, I do hope that things are going great with your training. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

We sure are enjoying having Emily here for VBS. It has been a good week.

Hope to see pics in your new uniforms soon. Sam
