This is GREAT! That they get to do this now! I wrote him back to telling him to stop complaining. These were things that he was doing since he was 7. The only difference is that there is not any fun electronics (phone,computer,tv, video games, and social media) to distract them from the duties of daily chores. I said to him, "he was groomed for this". This will prepare them for the world. From Boys to Men. This kinda reminds me of the movie 'Karate Kid'. When Mr. Miyagi made Danial-son do the same routes everyday. And Daniel learned later on why Mr. Miyagi had him doing those same chores in a consist way, everyday.
Cleaning the bathroom and ironing clothes. He will always kept his own bathroom polished and walk out of the house with freshly starched clothes.

I got a letter today! He said that div 108 is #2 place of all the 10 divisions. So our boys are coming together! He said he got thru Hell week which was last week. He passed his PFA so he said he will move to E2 at the end of bootcamp! He got the cold that's going around. They gave him a penicillin shot that he said hurt! More shots this week for them. He is in good spirits and everything seems to be going good. He said his RDC is pretty cool. Getting nicer to them! He said they are now the "seniors" and everyone is looking to them now! He said a lot of the snow melted from the 55 degrees they had last week. Pictures are this week! Less than 16 days ladies!!

I got a short, single letter. Very emotional to read, nonetheless. He said my letters were really helping him get through a lot there. It's so nice to hear that.
I'm concerned though, the date on the letter was Feb 11th, has anyone else gotten letters from that long ago recently? Still no current ones. Maybe the mail system at my college is just really slow. ): -

No, my son told me the mail has been slow and got messed up with Presidents' Day. I usually get a letter every Wednesday from him. But with the weather, it may be slower too or some getting "lost" for a bit!
