Sam's letters to her loved ones from Basic Training and AIT

27 November 2006

Request from Sam

When I talked to Sam she still had the hoarse, sore throat and said that practically everyone in the unit had it. On top of that, the PX has been out of cough drops. She asks if you would send her cough drops she would share them with the unit.

Otherwise, she still sounds good. They get to go camping Thursday (see insisted its more than that and called it going FTX). They got extra time on the phone today because a female in their unit won the pugil stick contest. They also do the gas chamber exercise this week. At her PT test on Sat. she ran the 2 miles in just over 21 mins (she has to run it in 24 to graduate) and did 12 push-ups and 53 sit-ups (compared to 9 and 40 in her initial tests at basic). Sounds like she's really getting into shape.

Cough drops on the way! Anything else you think she'd like to have?

Yeah, but apparently they frown on it in basic.

About half way through basic they should start letting them get care packages, but not before. We had two mess cooks in rooms upstairs in our barracks. They used to make money sneaking in stuff for us stuff to eat. It was amazing how much we were willing to pay for junk food and snacks. LOL

So any idea on whether or not we can send care packages now?

They can receive packages as long as they do not contain food, porn, or other forbidden items (cellphones, etc.).
