Hey Vince,

I got your letter yesterday. When I get back can we watch Megamind & Tangled? Please!? And I get a box of Bottlecaps when I come home too? Cause I am on withdrawal from sugar & caffience I swear. Anyway here it’s very simple if you listen you do as your told & can tolerate sandflea bites. These buggers hurt! Kind of like chigger but if you don’t touch they don’t itch thank God. So far the days go like this: up at 0400 morning chow then either drill, PT, or MCMAP, then either more drill or MCMAP, then a shower, more drill afternoon chow, then classes & drill, circle of trust, squad bay cleaning, evening chow, a 5 second shower, hygiene inspections, cleaning the house, free time, then prayer, & mounting the racks at 2000 hours. Every other night up for Rifle Security watch for an hour during the night so six to eight hours of sleep every night. By the way, your letter was just fine, and no errors. If you want to send me pictures, go right ahead. I’m clinging to anything that’s sent to me. But only letters & pictures okay, I don’t want to get into trouble. Being Intensely Trained sucks. I’m getting anxious about swim week excited about learning to swim with all the gear on. Anyway,  I’ll write every Sunday but I gotta go. I’ll see you soon.

Yours,

Liz
