30 May, Mom & Dad

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
