First Letter

I got a letter in the mail today from Chuck. He didn't think that he would be able to send it yet, but obviously he did. He said that he arrived in Ky at 1045pm on Wednesday, then got on a bus for the ride to fort knox. When they got there they met some of their drill sgts and had a quick briefing, then ate and went to bed at 2am. They were woke up at 4am and started all the paperwork and medical and dental checkups. He got 4 shots and got blood drawn. He said that 5 guys passed out and one hit his head and had to get staples. That night they went to bed at 9pm. Woke up at 3am the next morning. He got his hair cut and finally got to go shopping Friday( this is the day that he called me). He said that they are getting yelled at a lot. They only have 8 minutes to eat their food and they are being screamed at the whole time. He said the food is good though and there is a big selection. He is having a hard time sleeping, said that he can only sleep a few minutes before waking up again. He ended the letter here because they were getting yelled at for some guys talking. I still don't have an address for him yet, but I will let everyone know as soon as I get one.

  1. I think this has to be hard for him. One good thing he does eat fast so 8 minutes should be plenty of time. Tell him we love him and you take care. Love you both
