I am going to try to make some extra scarves - if anyone needs one - I will have it and bring it to the Meet and Greet. They will be yellow with tan and gold. Plain but at least we will match somewhat

Got a letter.....he said it would probably be the last letter. It is dated on Sunday, He said they are doing Firefighting this week and BS will be done on Thursday. Not sure if that means Wed night and finish on Thursday or Thursday night/ Friday morning.
He said his body felt stronger and he was not throwing up anymore, His knee was still a little sore but said for sure better. He is excited for Pre Buds and said he met a buddy who is really in shape and was a real driver and that the SEAL guy there told him it was important to make that partnership cause you will NEED that to make it through Pre Buds and Buds and that you dont make it being a loner! you will need these guys to push you and you push them.. Not sure who is new buddy is but I know its not his bunkmate due to no name being mentioned.
He said it was kind of sad he wont be writing anymore but he knows it means he is close to being done and could not wait till PIR!!!!
He told me thank you for all the letters and all the letters and inspirational things we have sent him have gotten him through, He was being sarastic and said without my letters he would of hung himself. It is just so comforting to hear from him that he really enjoyed our letters, pictures and all the goofy stuff we sent!
I will continue sending him letters and fun stuff to help him smile through the next few "testing" weeks!
Ladies,,,,,,,my lighter is ready to touch that candle...!!!! ;)
