4 May, Mom & Dad

Hey guys,
First of all thank you for the advice.  As for your question Dad, my muscles all lock up into place & my face turns red.  I know all this.  With Castro's idea on the food thing, I'm either listing the food alphabetically or what I want for the day, or how to make a dish.  As I said in the previous letter, my memory is exceptionally good with that! :)  I'm hoping soon I won't have to deal with the lists anymore but they really do help.  That & breathing deeply.
Yes Mom, banana's are my friend.  I get at least one a day along with an apple & an orange in the box chows.  Did I make it longer than Jake did before I requested/demanded you bring something here?  Cuz if I did then I won't feel as guilty.  Only week 5 & I'm telling you to bring 5 boxes of Granola bars with you.  Those things are the bomb though.  That's the girls equivalent to the guys' brownies, cakes, & cookies.  We don't get any sugary stuff, it sucks.  Almost halfway there, Saturday marks Training Day 35.  PFT that morning, God that's gonna stink.  Oh well, Dad's favorite saying "suck it up and live with it."  Can't wait til Sunday.
Hyman & I are still trying to figure out Papa John's.  Kind of disgruntled there's not one on base.  They do have a Subway, a Backyard Burger, & Movie theater.  Popcorn sounds great.  I'm going to be doing a lot of swimming and running cuz all I want to do is eat what I want when I want with you guys.  Not a very good idea fresh out of boot camp I'm sure but man I can't wait to have that freedom back as well as being able to see or talk to the people I want to.
We got to wash our hair again on Wednesday, not sure why.  We usually have to do something for Senior to get one of those.  Oh well, over, done with.
If there's one thing I'm grateful for during grass and rifle weeks is we keep the sleeves of our cami's rolled down.  Damn sand fleas can't eat our arms.  Oh, on field weeks or when we're away from the original squad bay our sleeves are rolled down all the time, all the other weeks rolled up.  Make sense?  Ask Dad to explain it better.
So, on the rifle range, my aiming sucks, but I can make a tight group.  We get to fire in the sitting position today.  Oh joy.  I'm not liking this part of training and it's necessary.  Every Marine is a rifleman.  I just want to hit the black and never do.  I had to refire four times yesterday cuz 2 times I did horribly and another 2 times the coaches didn't mark my groups.  Why do I always get such luck?  Anyway I'll end here tonight.  Gotta clean my rifle and look over my notes.  Those should help me, right?  I love you guys.
Love
Bizzy
p.s.  Thank you for the stamps and yes Mom I'm using both sides. :)
