Hey I miss you all. This is the first time I have been able to write. There is so much I want to tell you but so little paper.
??July 10--Tuesday?
Sorry about that. Drill Sgt (DS) walked in so everyone stops what they are doing, in this case-writing. On Monday I got my M4 with dot sight! My group 4th platoon, being infantry goes almost everywhere with our weapons and helmet. Today we did an obstacle course. It was fun.
I understand what Terry was talking about when he said, "The Army motto is hurry up and wait." We have about five minutes to eat then you go wait for another 15 before you go onto the next thing.
Oh, and Terry, go on and send me the letter. My DS will have a fun time with it. We have the best DS in the world. They really push us but at the same time they have fun with us. Like we have a guy that is about 6'9", no joke, and another one that 5'0" so they made them battle buddies. They do everything together. In my squad we have one guy that is 36 years old! Also the DS thinks I do a perfect imitation of Elmer Fudd so I am always to to say "you rascally rabbit" in my Fudd voice.
Besides that there has been a ton of PT (you think?). No, more than you are thinking right now. I have really liked it. And it has been good for me.
So much I want to tell you and so little paper. The guys here are starting to work as a team.
Would you guys send me pictures, mainly family, but friends can send them too? The reason that I ask is, at this point, I am running on God, thoughts of my family and friends, and food, when I can get it.

(the only reason I know the day is because I had to do paperwork)
Love and miss you all,

P.S. Pet Puppy for me.
