Letters From Home

When I was Navy back in 1990-1995, I would be aboard ship and on occasion see other people get in packages and packages of mail from home. Most of the items received was Food related, I saw two young men get cakes, would you believe CAKES!! of all things, and they ate what they could and tossed the rest in the trash,   I saw young men get t-shirts, and socks and they trashed them and kept the CD music and the CD players. I thought to myself that if anyone ever ended up sending me stuff like that in quantity and quality that I would at least be more respectful of the people that went through all that trouble to get me any items in the mail sent to me far far away on military duty.   Then one day a big envelope arrived from Alaska, It was a bundle of letters from some school children, amongst these kids was my lil' sister Shayne!!, and they had all written and drawn much stuff for me, I thought that was so nice. I kept those letters from those kids that, at that time, never k...

Fort Sill Oklahoma

Our WTC (Warrior Transition Course) class graduates in 3 days, after that we continue on with various schoolings, trainings, back to civilian life etc. As for me, I continue to Ft Benning, Georgia for AIT / Advanced Infantry Training and after that, will find out where my next duty station will be for my 3yrs 5 months Army enlistment.   So much has happened to me in training, and most of it good stuff too. I've been able to push my 42yr old body and complete most of the day to day PhysicalTraining that the Drill Sgts make us do. On the other hand, I pulled something in my knee while sprinting and medical gave me a brace and put me on 5 day limited duty pass (meaning that I could still walk, run, march etc and not get sent to medical hold and miss graduation)  I'm old, but am here for this brief time.   It's an honor to serve. already we've gone through riflle marksmanship and we've done Convoy exercises and Clearing Rooms. Fun fun stuff that I hope I ge...
