Still just a lot of classes going on. He did get his gas mask and they had a class on chemical weapons. They have 9 seconds to pull out their gas masks and put them on. They are doing more marching. Marched a mile in full battle gear. People are still doing stupid stuff and everyone is getting in trouble. One of the new punishments is running outside, getting in formation, run back inside and change clothes and run out and get in formation again. Thy had 8 minutes to do this. They did it 5 times and then someone got hurt and they stopped. Finally ran the obstacle course. He said that the hanging rope kicked his butt, but he did good at everything else. He's thinking that he'll probably get fired from Platoon Leader soon. They also got to do a team development course. It is puzzles that they work together to solve before going on to the next one. He said that they did OK but not great. The punishment that night was pouring water over their heads, (while inside) mud and water all over the floor from their boots, and then they had to do PT in the muddy water. then they had to clean it all up. Chuck still has a cold, but now it's more just a cough. He is finally starting to get a little home sick. He said he tries not to think about it tom much and tries to stay busy. I haven't talked to him since Jan 9Th for about 30 seconds. I did send him some addresses so maybe everyone will get a letter soon. I'll keep you updated.
