I got my first few letters (seven!) from Tim today and I wanted to share how he is doing…
He got the Master at Arms position which is a very good thing! Says it comes with a little bit more freedom and he does not have to clean,
just has to make sure the other recruits do what they are suppose to….
Said the Chief told the other guys in his DIV that if Tim gives an
order it may as well come from him [the chief] and they better listen!
He is so excited about that! Says he has made a good impression on the
RDC’s (drill instructors) Says they like his "military bearings" (his dad is ret. Navy and he [Tim] worked in the prison system for 4 years. he had to do the police academy so he is doing ok with this.... its a bit tougher though) .
He says there are already some that are ready to quit, and at this point it was still only processing week….he said there alot of younger
guys (My husband is 29 so hes much older then most) that just keep talking all the time and/or forgetting stuff
therefore causing them to all have extra PT, then it causes them all to
complain…. which gives them even more PT. (yeah he’s a bit frustrated)
He talks about how much he misses me, and cant wait for this to be over, but he tries not to think too much about it so not to lose focus.
He went to the SDA (seventh day adventist) church program, and enjoyed it, said it helped with
the sad feelings.
Apparently they were suppose to get a call home on Christmas but never did. Said someone much have messed up and caused them to lose it…he
also has not gotten any of my letters yet, because he kept telling me to
write…. BUT I have been writing…
but it might take a bit longer for him to get his letters…. the formal letter from the Navy with his address had that he was SHIP 09
DIV 074 but his envelopes and in his letters he tells me he is DIV
073…. so hopefully they can track him down and get him all his letters!
Overall he is doing good…. feeling a bit sad, and very frustrated with the young guys that are not focused and he misses me tremendously….
