Well I'm all done. I did get my EIC award and promotion. I wanted it to be a suprise so that't why I told her I didnt get it. I'm glad its over and I'm happy to be home. Looking back I guess I did have some fun. It wansn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. The things I thought would be the hardest were actually the easiest. I start training with my unit in June and it looks like I will be leaving for a couple more weeks since my summer at is in June instead of July like I was originally told. Thanks again to everyone who wrote and helped out Nel at one time or another.

4/30/09 The last letter!
4/30/09
This is the last letter!! They have been super busy getting stuff cleaned, turned in, and ready to go. He was told today that his EIC award didn't go through, but wasn't given a reason why. Monday they turn all their equipment in. Tuesday is out processing. He's happy to turn in his M16 (but he really loved it since it's name was Nelly). He says Thanks to everyone for all the letters. He won't be able to write anyone back. They are back to work so that's the end of the letter. The Last Letter!! He's hoping for a call. I received this letter on 5/4/09 and still haven't got a phone call. It's been almost 3 and 1/2 weeks since I've got to talk to him and I've only gotten 3 letters in the last 2 and 1/2 weeks. At least I'll get to see him in 2 days!! I can't wait. The next post will probably be Chuck back, so just wanted to say that it's been fun but I'm glad it's done. Can't wait to have him home, even if it's just for a little while. Who knows when he'll have to leave again.
Love,
Nel

He did it. He has a paintball thing to do tomorrow and that's it. They got their golden cross saber pins. He passed all his tests so he should get the EIC award. It has to be approved. Chuck hasn't had a shower since last Wednesday. It was really hot at the FOB. They weren't able to sleep at night, but they could take cat naps during the day in between training. Did the 20k march back. Chuck made it!! He was at the back of the pack, but he at least finished it. They left the FOB at midnight and got back to the barracks at 0615. He's feeling pretty sore now. The next week is cleaning and turning everything in. Dinner time.
