Good Morning,

YEA! I heard from Stephen last night, he sounds great, I try to take notes on everything he was telling me, he asked if I would send his phone, camera and boxers. LOL Cannot wear nothing but his uniform for several weeks, so he asked for no clothes. You have to pay to use the computers, so he has not been on the computer (you know by the time the kids pay for their clothes, pictures, bags for traveling, even hair cuts not too much money is left). He has core duty for 10 days, which is class on finances, how to survey. He said he had a class on love, sex and the world. LOL He is also in charge of 60 guys for marching, yes you heard me right they are still marching (they probably don't know what else to do with them)LOL He has to mustard for two days (marching). He said all the servicemen are there, he said the airforce is right there and you fill like the planes are landing on you, pretty nice to see so much going on and he also said that everyone seems to be really nice, none of I am better because I am in ???, so I am very glad about that, sometimes people are not so nice. He has one room mate and they get along, he is also in for IT. They are not always roomed with a classmate in the same field. There could be 3 to 6 men in a room. ME, Stephen does not know your James but now I am on a mission for them to meet and I gave him all the information, what I don't like is that he is on the other end of the building because of his training. But he can go where he wants on base so that is good. He does not know when he will start class but this is new on the base, it is a self taught class, you go on a computer and follow the steps. He has to do two sessions a day and you could finish in 17 weeks. I don't know I would like a teacher for him. Boy I want a lot. LOL Sorry this is so long, if I remember anything else I will let you know, he was tired, they still get up by 4:00, oh, he did say when they march, everyone is marching, the biggest group goes first and he did say the Navy is the biggest group.

Steven called his parents (I just recieved a text from his mom) he won't start for another 4-5 months he said.
Samantha Comment by Samantha on January 22, 2009 at 11:38pm
Is anyone on....I really need to talk to someone.
Samantha Comment by Samantha on January 22, 2009 at 10:44pm

Samantha Comment by Samantha on January 22, 2009 at 10:34pm
