Mom's note: I sent a large box filled with small packages of homemade chocolate chip cookies and homemade banana bars so Josiah could easily share with his fellow soldiers. This is the response I received a few days later.

Do Not Send More Cookies!!!!!!!!! We saw them and then the DS (Drill Sargent) took them away. We are not allowed cookies or sweets at this time, but the DSs are very thankful. Along the same lines, NO FOOD talk. (Bring cookies for family day.)
Can't wait to see you guys. In two weeks we start BRM, Basic Rifle Marksmanship.
Otherwise life is great. Write you later.

I hope those cookies were actually eaten by someone as it cost me $11 for just the postage!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope the drill sargent who enjoys my son's Elmer Fudd voice discovers the carrots that were included for the "wascally wabbit". Next time I will just send the carrots.
Hmm...thanks for the idea!
