It's been a while since I wrote anything here. But that's ok. Liz has been hanging out in Pensacola for the past month, waiting for her schooling to begin. She called and talked to Jerry last night, but I'm not sure what all was said. We sent her a box with her Nebraska Gear, and so far I don't think she's missed a football game!!!! That's my girl. On her Skype page she states she's the only girl in Pensacola with Nebraska gear, and that I'm "the bomb!!!" So far football games consist of us texting back and forth, so she's pretty happy!!!!! She's spent some time at the beach with friends, and seems to be making more everyday. But, she's Liz, so her close circle is small!!!!! She was supposed to start school today, if so, she will only be there for 2 months. Time for everyone to send her more love!!!! Thanks to the Hennes Clan for taking time at the family reunion this weekend to make her feel a little closer to home. To Josh & Luke: you guys are awesome, thank you for taking the time to talk!!!!!!!
Love to all,
Jenny

Hi all,
We have a new address!
Pvt. Gill, Elizabeth
MATSG-21 AMS-1
211 Farrar Road
Pensacola, Fl. 32508.
We have heard from her numerous times since she graduated Combat Training last week. She is firmly ensconsed in her new unit, and begins schooling this week. She was really excited to learn how to shoot new weapons, and requested that we let her know when Jessica thinks she is gonna start dating! (Just so Liz can be sure to tell the new boy that Jess needs to be home by 10!) The girl is tough, she made it through combat training on a stress fracture in her foot, and is non-weight bearing to that leg until the end of this week. Hopefully it is healed enough that she can do some running, but I reminded her that even though she can't run, she can still head to the pool to work out. Of course we need to send her a swim suit!!!! She spent some time this weekend at the beach, and so far seems to like Pensacola, but I guess she is only there for 13 weeks. So....... Send her some love, and she can call/text if you want to talk to her.
Love to all,
Jenny

Hi all,
We got a letter from Liz's commanding officer yesterday, just a form letter, but we have her new address. She did call both Jerry & I this evening, and she's a little homesick, so a letter from family/friends may help at this time. She said she is doing well, and that MCT is "fun" (really?) and that she gets to fire a machine gun this week. So she has something to look forward to!!!!!

12 July, 2011
Well, like a tornado, she's come and gone. Liz left for MCT yesterday at Camp Gregor outside of Camp LeJeune, NC. She made it safe and sound, we got a call about 1030 last night. The weather down there is HOT, even worse than what we've had here in Omaha, with temps expected to be in the 100's + humidity. I just hope she remembers to drink plenty of water!!!!! I know she enjoyed her stay at home & seeing everyone she got to was great. She did say Thank You to you all. Today is kinda bittersweet, it's awful quiet around here again. Anyway, as soon as I get an address I will post it.
Love
Jen

Hi all!
Well, Liz's home, for a while at least. I figured that I would keep going with this, as she is headed to MCT next, then to school for a year before being sent to a home base. I know that letters will be few and farther between, especially when she is at schools and her availability of phones and computers will increase. I thought that maybe everyone would want to keep tabs on her, and I figured this was the best way to do it! She will be home until 10 July, she has recruiter duties until then, then she is off to Fort Geiger (?) in North Carolina for 29 days then to Jacksonville, Fl. for her schooling. So.... she will be stateside for some time.
Keep reading, we'll keep everyone updated.
Love
Jen

30 May, Meagan
Hey Meagadot,
How are you doing baby sister? So when I get back home I'm taking you & Jessi to the mall, the bookstore, and the bookstore. Does that sound good? And I'll probably take you to Oakview since it's got all three there. What would you want for lunch though cuz i was thinking Cici's but there is also the food court. what movies are coming out that you want to see and when we goin? You gotta take me swimming though adn after practice I'll take you to Taco Bell like I did last year, just you, me & Jessi though. I need some nomey left over to go back to MCT. Kay? So what's new with you soon-to-be 7th grader? Any crazy stories to tell your older sister? Can you do me a favor next thursday after practice can you & Jessi sit down and swap stories about all the dumb stuff I did? I'm doing to be going through Hell on that day as well as Friday & Saturday and I just want to think about something else. It's called the Crucible in case you want to know more Meags, otherwise just know that it either makes or breaks you. You move and are doing obstacles for 54 hours straight & a little bit of food for that time too. Sounds like fun right? So yeah, do something fun for those 2 days OK? The 9th -11th are the hardest days of training and I want someone to do something fun for me for them. I want Gma's biscuits & gravy so bad along with a whole lot of other stuff. I still can't believe I get to see you in a couple weeks. Can you? I get to give you a hug then are you good with giving your sister a hug when she sees you again or are you going to tell me to get off of you? Cuz I won't be able to resist. 13 weeks I've been gone. Does it seem longer to you? I hear Mom & Dad are driving each other up the wall like usual and that you guys are all being couch potatoes. I can't wait until I see you in three Thursdays. So does this sound good to you, or do I need to add stuff to the list that we are doing for that day? Send a letter & tell me. I love you
Your Sister,
Bizzy

Hey Guys
I'm almost done! I just have 4/5 more main things left, the CFT, the PFT, Prac App, the written test and the Crucible. I get to do that on Thursday next week. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm scared I'll drop out and be dropped back. I don't think I could deal with that if I made it this far and then failed to keep myself up there for the Crucible and be sent three weeks back from my original date. I hear I need to drink like at least fifteen canteens a day and there is no stopping for those 54 hours except for our sleeping time. Dad, any advice there for me? I would love to hear it right about now cuz I'm getting really jittery about this cuz I'm good for the other 4 things but I don't know about the Crucible. I just gotta keep my head in the game. I am going to do this and I am going to see you guys on June 17. I can't wait until then. With this letter is something that needs to go on your windshield so you can come into the base. Can't wait to see you on the 16th.
I made plans to stay with Grandma on Friday night since I planned on flying out that afternoon. Man I miss you guys and Jessi & Meags are going to be so sick of me before I have to ship out to MCT. :) I am taking them to the mall and the bookstore and the movies. They have to take me to the pool. Am I still a member to the Field Club or not? I'm confused there. If not, I'll stick myself in a swim bag and hide myself away so you don't have a guest. Can we have a chili feed when I get home, or burgers & hotdogs? I miss that stuff. Thank you for the recipes by the way mom. I have the tetrazini almost memorized then it's on to gma's stuffing and deep dish pizza. I miss pizza. I miss a lot of stuff. Oh well, I'm used to walking everywhere. Two more weeks, then liberty Sunday and getting ready for the Battalion Commander's Inspection, and then you guys see me graduate!!!!! God, I can't wait for that day. Then when I'm out of my Alpha's I am giving you guys the biggest hug I can give without squishing you guys! :)
Is the bathroom done cuz it's been almost 3 months adn you said you'd have it done by the time I get home. So yeah, you time's almost done. I'm so excited. I get to go home soon. I get to see you soon. Homesickness stinks. I'm sorry that's the truth though. So this week is admin week, basically paperwork from what I'm getting from it. I'm not sure though. The CFT is tomorrow, so this is going to be interesting. Final Drill is in a week. On Wednesday next we'll either piss off senior or make her kind of happy. Then it's the Crucible on Thursday Morning starting at 2 in the morning. This Friday is the last Friday in the squad bay. I can't believe it. Time almost always seems to start like it never moves and then it just seems to slow down. We're speeding here now I am hoping for the best on the upcoming things and going to give it my all. That's the best I can do. I get two things I think about for the Crucible: look out for my team and take care of my feet. Blisters don't sound like fun for the Crucible. We'll see.
So, any stories to tell me? Nothing crazy has happened since I left? I hope not cuz that means I'm the craziest Gill and we all know that's not true. Aunt Annie wants to take me for some time during leave, and I can't wait for that cuz I want to spend time with everyone. Are we doing a family photo when I get back? Anyway I gotta go , I love you all.
Love,
Bizzy Bee
