Today we received our second letter from our recruit. That's the good news. The not so good news is that Tammy received a text from Warren's girlfriend indicating that she had already received two letters. What are we....chopped liver?!?! (No offense to Hannah)
So I'll transcribe the "War and Peace" novel we got from Warren today.
We had MCMAP the other day and that is really fun. No more stamps PX call tomorrow. It is hot today and higher ups are walking around for most of the week. Scuzzing sucks so much. [EDITORS NOTE: Scuzzing means to walk like a duck and scrub the floor in small circles using a small brush] My voice has dropped apparently. This platoon is going to be strong because people don't like to make count so we scuzz until someone helps and/or saves us.
An instructor passed out today during bayonet instruction and pugil sticks some recruit got knocked out and the ambo [ambulance] had to show up. That was interesting.
MIKE MIKE MIKE. WHAT DAY IS IT???? HUMP DAAAAAYYY!!! YEAH!!! Get it because I am in Mike Company. It's hot today. I've gained 10 lbs. Bye for now.
Love,
Dudley, Warren
Tammy and I laughed when we read this letter. I should point out that my loving and caring wife waited for me to get home before opening the letter (unlike her husband who potentially opened a letter without her). Reading into this, it seems that he has adjusted and is having fun, which can be had at boot camp once you get acclimated to the routine. Yes, he doesn't like scrubbing the floor but who does. Otherwise, it is an upbeat letter and makes us feel a lot better. Imagine that, 10 pounds in a month... and I am sure it's not fat.
