Cards from Sam
I received another note from Sam. Here are some excerpts:
November 7-8
I was a naughty, disobedient soldier today. We have been ordered to sit on our duffel bags outside all day because the Co. Comdr caught a bunch of fools messing around inside, when they were not supposed to be. It was balmy at 04:30 when we formed up for breakfast, so all we wore under our ACU's were t-shirts. It's gotten colder since then, so....When I went to the latrine, I snuck to my locker and put on my poly-pro shirt. Can you believe how bad I am? I'm getting the hang of putting Chapstick on without a mirror. I'm just full of new tricks! I'm not looking at many mirrors, except when I'm doing my hair. My BCG's are more feminine than Lane's were...but they are still pretty hideous. :<
I've been pretty down today. It's downright tiresome to be yelled at constantly for other people's misbehaviors....Sigh. I wonder if there will be more consistency in BCT. On the positive side, my boots fit perfectly! Ooh - the sun just came out. The warmth is delicious. I'm afraid my letters must be boring because my days are full of waiting in lines.
Sorry this is so sloppy. I'm scratching this out on my lap, using my soft little smart book as a writing surface. I've read half of it so far - especially enjoying the part dealing with disposal of human waste in the field. I'm ready to go camping! Yummy....Hey, we just got the lab reports where they actually tested our blood to make sure they don't over-immunize us, so I won't get so many shots. Yay. Gotta go get stabbled now....
5 shots, plus flu mist. The flu mist was worse than ALL FIVE SHOTS put together. GAG!!
Note: One of the cards Sam sent had this on the front cover: Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant. (Maya Angelou)

Thank you so much for sharing your letter.
2 weeks down...
Kick ass for me Sam:-). This body of mine can't even do a tenth of what you can do, so I'm living vicariously through you. Hugs!!!
I got a card too, haven't had time to post the highlights, but it made my day/week/month/year to get it.
