POSTED THIS ON THE PIR 10/15 GROUP BUT WANTED TO POST TO HEAR AS WELL!!!
Hello, everyone i got letters!! Im pretty sure my hubs was one of the ones writing when he wasnt supposed to, he said something about writing in the dark on "p-days?" He said that he hates it and its worse than jail, but is keeping a possitive additude. He also mentioned going to church, which was nice. Said his div. had to switch barracks which sucked bc they had to walk 1 1/2 miles with 100lbs of sh*T! He said he doesnt mind the physical stuff or studying, its the folding and folding and cleaning he hates (i knew that was coming, im the cleaner at home) He said he stands watch at night alot so little sleep for him. He said there are a bunch of cool guys and hates that he cant really talk to them much. He said that is RDC's are crazy!! But one is funny and cool, but the scariest?! lol He said he has to wear grandpa glasses, lmao which is HILARIOUS bc i could nvr get him to wear his contacts or glasses!!!!! Leave it up to the navy. He said he has to have alot of teeth work, which doesnt surprise me he hasnt had dental coverage is FOREVER!!! And he said the peanut butter shot sucked!!! His @** hurt for three days, also he said he is starting to get sick. He also said that one night they got in trouble bc there were too many ppl out of bed, he said "great we are gunna be in deep sh*t tomorrow" Also said he passed his swimmers test, and there were alot of important test this week!!! but thats all i got for now sorry it is so random i kept remembering and forgeting things he said..
