Basic training is alot different then the receptional.
It sucks not being able to use my phone every night.
I hardly have anytime at all to do anything. I have to write letters on fire guard or in pieces at a time. The Drill Sgts are alot more strict then the other ones across the tracks. But on Monday we get our weapon, Tuesday we climb the tower, Wednesday we have combatatives, and Thursday is the gas chamber. :(
We just got issued body armor, helmet, pads, and a bunch of other stuff. The food isn’t bad, it’s a little better then receptional.
It rained for about 10 mins, then turned muggy, and dried up and went back to being normally hot about 45 mins later.
I’d say I’m doing good here because one kid went to the hospital with heat stroke I think, and 2 more are quitting. They’ll probably be here a while just waiting for their paper work to be filed. Drill Sgts wait on purpose. I’m homesick but that’s normal, graduation is Sept. and family day is the day before, So I’ll see you guys in 2 months.
Love you guys. Miss everyone.
-Greg-
P.S. Our Platoon has a Facebook page.
Oh and like the back of this envelope, put 4th Platoon, Blood Knights. It helps the mail people sort everything out.
Call and inform my mom of this bacause I didn’t put it in her letter and I don’t know if this will cause a problem with me getting her letter.

In Oklahoma now and this place is hot and the airport is little
This place is like in the middle of no where, I didn't see any nice houses as we were getting close to ground. They all looked like shacks
