ave, same here we have to wait til like 3-4PM we live on top of a mountain and our mailman is kind of like the mailman in that movie with Chevy Chase who drives by and throws th mail out the window LOL... well, not that bad, but almost!! if there is too much mail or a box that wont fit in our mailbox, he is so lazy, he takes it back to the post office instead of driving up the driveway and beeping for me to come out and get it... I tried giving him a nice tip at xmas and stuff, thinking I'd butter him up, but to no avail LOL

Have any of you looked at those boot cam videos on You Tube? They kind of help a little as you can sort of see what they are going through.

Okay guys, ready for this, I got not one, not two, but THREE letters today! One from the 18th, 19th, and 20th.
He says at first they didn't do anything, and was actually gaining weight, and he was really bad at marching. He said they all look the same, he has his glasses, and got his teeth done. He said he wished I could see him in his camo and boots, they all look so cool. He also said they joke a lot about how they feel they eat every hour b/c they eat 3 times a day, and the day is so short. in bed at 9 and up at 4:30. He said the chief finally complimented him, b/c he has such good handwriting. His natural writing is navy standard, go figure lol. He said b/c his handwriting is so nice he was made to do more logs hehe. He joked about walking around naked at hygien time, he said all the guys get a good laugh about it. Oh he said the shot on the ass hurt like hell. He said so far they have been doing a lot of folding and learning to dress fast, no training with guns or anything yet. He told me I'm in trouble when he gets home b/c I'm going to have to learn how to fold the navy way. OY VEY!!!!
He said he really hated the first few days here, but his friends, and the navy, won't let him quit, and he's starting to really like it. He said its the friendships that's really getting him through it.
He mentioned names of his friends, I don't know if its a good idea to mention names on here, but his bunk mate starts with a B last name.
