I got a letter today that finally has an address. Chuck passed his PT test wih flying colors. He has gotten tired of reception. He said that they have no toliet paper, no hot or warm water, only 2 washers and dryers that work, and they got forks taken away and can only use spoons to eat now. Not sure what caused that. He did ship out on Friday to start Basic. He said these barracks are a lot nicer. They have 8 men to a room and a shared bathroom and shower for the entire floor. They had a shower drill last night and he said that everyone got in line wearing shorts and towel and soap in hand. They have 30 seconds to take their shower. I did find out that basic graduation is march 19/20 and AIT graduation is May 6/7th. He thinks he'll get to call on Sunday so that'll be nice. To bad it's only for a minute or two. The address to send to is

PVT SCHUTZ,CHARLES
F TROOP 5/15 Cavalry 4th Plt.
3576 Wilson Rd
Fort Knox, KY 40121-5728


I will keep everyone updated as I hear things.
