I got another letter from my love today! :) It looks like he sent it on Oct 4. (Or at least it was sent from the post on Oct. 4th). He says that some of the guys in his platoon are pretty awful and they get smoked every day for something dumb that they've done. :(
He also said that he can make his bunk in the dark now and is pretty much a pro bed maker. :)
As of the day he wrote this he hasn't received any of my letters. :( I've been sending them daily. I hope he gets them soon. He sounds so sad that he hasn't gotten any yet.
He also said that one of his Drill Sergeants calls him "Wetsol" because he reminds her of a private from a previous cycle.;) Supposedly he looked like Jon and always tried his best (like Jon. :) She apparently is the one who smokes them the hardest, but Jon can tell she really cares.
So Jon named his M16 Dede. :) He says that she's a vicious bitch (and cuddly too!)
Here's hoping that he'll be able to call me on Sunday.

Yay for getting a letter! He will be so happy when he gets yours too!
I love that Alex can make a bed much quicker and faster than I can, just one more "perk" lol
I sent 5 LONG letters on Saturday, 2 on Monday, and 2 today. Sent September, October, November and December calendar pages, with the days he's been gone X'd out. I also put day numbers, backwards from graduation day, so he can cross off the days and know how many are left. Today, went to the Post Office to buy a new roll of stamps......Gonna need them.........Writing often. He mentioned that he looks forward to mail call, but has not received any letters yet. Crossing my fingers that Brie's letters will reach him soon.........that's the first handwriting he looks for...........as it should be. Love you Brie and Jon. Probably about one more week of Red phase.
