LOL=) lm lovin' it!!!! heehee =)
bad, you're bad! snicker, snicker
I knowww... but I couldnt resist=) LOL
my SR had a dog named Muffin, but we never called her that. I usually stick with calling her peanut.
Sandyyyy =) I am getting so excited=) I will be so happy to drive North!! I usually am this happy when we drive South... (that usually means we are heading to Destin) lol!!! But this makes me happier! Did ya get any letters today? When you get em, I get em the day after=) lol
Sam told me that there is a girl the drill seargents call muffin, and are very mean to her.  They say hurtful things.  He said the Sr's can't talk to her unless they call her Muffin too.  Sam said it's really sad.
Awww!!!! See, thats just mean!!! I truely hope its just those mean head games... I dont like that kind of crap!~ makes me very sad... =(((((

I think it is part of the mind game crap.  Sam said before bootcamp he was sure they could not break him down, but he said on the phone that they have a whole arsenal of ways to break the SR's down, and they did it to him, too.  I'm sure it;s better later, and part of the training, but I hate it, too.

 

Well it is definitely not my SR then becuase she would have spilled that kind of crap to me on the phone call.  Lisa, my SR said that she wrote to me on Thursday and that it would be a downer letter but that whatever was in it was old news and to ignore the depressiveness of it. Thing is I didn't get it Saturday and I didn't get it yesterday. Now is not the time for the postal service to become turds about getting me my mail! Both of my parents worked for the postal service, I know how to raise a stink ; p.
Yup, from what my SR has said, I know she would have. Hmmm.. im wondering if the mail is gonna get slower. It did with my boys in USAF when it got closer to graduation. Aww.. im glad she gave you the heads up.. that way if mine is bummed out too.. I will know it was just one of those days. And if it is postal service... Get em' Sandy!!! Lol. Im writing a letter now, and getting ready for" Trivia~Tuesday"!!! I can not wait till I walk out this door and know I am heading to Great Lakes :) Both of her brothers are gonna be going too! She will be so excited! The one is expecting his first baby and the other one is coming in from Alaska=) they are both so proud of their baby sister =)
I cannot wait either. Her brother will be going, we are hoping to convince him to either sign up or get a job that doesn't involve fast food! He's moving home this weekend. She has been subtlely trying to "show him the way" even though he is 4 years older than she is. He's kind of just been out there in the world barely hanging on, which is too bad because he is very smart. But we got him to take the first step and move home and take a break from trying to live paycheck to paycheck (and doing it badly). I am hoping seeing her and what she has become will help give him a nudge in the right direction. I wish I could do Trivia Tuesday, but I am always at work and they block Facebook (with good reason LOL). Good luck and get us a pic!!

i don't think that's her, at least i hope not. i understand the head games the have to play in the beginning but that's just plain vicious.

 

my SR just said they call her McMuffin on occasion because it's so close to her real last name.
