6th week update!

Hey!
So David survived BEST (Yay!) and in his words"It was the worst week of my life." Apparently wearing 60 lbs of gear all the time isn't very fun. He said he could feel the sweat pouring down his arms and legs.
He gave me a run down of his schedual for this next week, his TI is going to be gone for a couple days which means they get a "floater" I guess they yell all the time and are way strict.. anyway he gets to wear his Blues tomorrow for the first time, he has his PT evals Thursday I think, and his final written test of friday. Umm he said that he is super tired, but he sounded as happy as you can be living in hell.
The reason why they can't write letters is because they were sending all of their letters with one guy to go mail, which is illegal so they got in trouble and aren't supposed to mail anything anymore.
OH! This Friday is the last day to mail him letters so yeah make sure you do that :)
He sends his love to everyone, he misses you guys like crazy!

YaY!

Hey everybody,
I just talked to David and he is doin much better! He sounded pretty happy he even sang Leaving On A Jet Plane (he provides the musical entertainment for his flight hahaha) This week is BEAST so he would like it if you would hold off sending letters until Friday. His flight lost writing privileges so he wont be able to reply anyway.... that was about it. Next week, if he gets a call, I'll get BEAST stories to share so that will be interesting...

A fourth of the way through

Alrighty, so I kinda slacked off, but I talked to David last Saturday... to be honest he isn't doing very well. I guess most of the guys in his flight are sick, and so is he...
I also got a couple letters. The second one was him basically saying he doesn't want to be there anymore :( He is excited for a long hot shower when he comes home, so he can actually clean off better.
The first one is full of smiley faces :) He misses talking, texting, and especially candy. Ummm for the Saturday dinner he wants brownies, candied yams, veggie tray, orange juice, steak, and biscuits haha. He surprised a bunch of the guys down there when he started yelling at them to get cleaning the latrines. Lots of Harry Potter jokes. He passed his PT evaluation : 51 push ups and 58 sit-ups, his run was a 11:11, which is not happy about. During the obstacle course apparently he had a stalker :P and wants me to ask you guys to keep sending the letters and pictures, and thanks for the ones you have sent. :)

Almost a month...

Hey everybody!
David called today, he says he is doing well but he has some stories... Yesterday (Monday) was the gas chamber. He said it wasn't too horrible, he got through it fine. The problem came that night at dinner when he nearly died eating pork... They were being rushed like usual and he tried to swallow his meat followed with some water but it got stuck and he started choking. Luckily someone noticed and a TI gave him the Heimlich and he is perfectly fine now. Then today was the obstacle course and he said he dominated that so no worries... besides his bumped up chin... He gets is name on his uniform on Thursday along with his Blues, which he's excited about :) I think thats everything.... He loves and misses everybody, keep the pictures and letters comming :D
