Chuck finally went to sick call this am, but said it was a waste of time. They gave him cough syrup and throat drops, but they can only get them 2 times a day. He had a good breakfast, he had to go early so he could go to sick call. For lunch he had another pear (he's calling it a Nellie fruit since it's my favorite). He said that he's actually starting to like them. They had class on the 50 caliber machine Gun. It's the same one used in WWII in the B-17's so he was excited about that. They got done a little early so they sat around talking with the Drill Sgt's. The DS told them that it takes a while when you get home to get out of the military eating habits. Chuck said that he thinks he'll slow down eating. He just wants to sit at a table and relax. He said that I'd probably gag watching them eat. They mix everything together (I don't like things touching). He had BBQ beef for dinner and thought it was pretty good. I think we are going to go to Nashville or Memphis for a few days when he is all done. He's been talking to some guys from Nashville that can tell us the hot spots. He got the pics that I sent( he wanted some pics of the 2 of us). I got some info on family day/graduation in this letter and it looks like it is actually 1 day instead of 2 like they said in the beginning so that is just one more day longer till we get to see each other. They had a guy refuse to train today and he got arrested (felony charges, I don't know what exactly). They cuffed him and led him out in front of the entire troop, while they sang to him. He said that it had to be embarrassing for him. That's it.
I'll keep everyone updated.
Thanks,
Nel
