Letters To Home: Part 2
A third letter has arrived.
EXTRA Week 2
Well... days pas and life here starts to lit a lot more ( I think he means get brighter. ) As you learn from your mistakes, you get stronger, and smarter. I am happy now. I can smile and laugh freely with my brother marines. As we all grow, the drill instructors give us more freedoms. It was fun to see the D.I. get mad, but it's their job. They are not so different than us, they have lives and dreams, but they are stuck with us for three months until we all become marines. They never sleep or eat or sh** or pee, literally! I never see them doing their own thing, just pure drill on all the recruits. I feel bad for them.
A guy passed out during a P.T. session. I saw him fall like a puppet almost ten feet away!
Fking miss Emmis...
I may get dropped one more week, to see if I pass... next time is going to be in phase three?... It's a long time ahead, but still crucial for me to graduate.
I.S.T. stats:
Pull ups - 7
Crunches - 103
Run - 9:30
My I.S.T. score is very good in the overall standings, but I can't climb a rope! I'll learn, I need to - just another challenge I must accomplish. (I'm falling asleep >.> ) Anyhoo, a guy pee'd in his pants during b.d.r. (bed time) Just when all the recruits were standing to do a countdown. At least he's not the only one, now. XD
I can't wait to get a letter from you all. I miss ya all so bad... I am here, feeling a lot more alone than ever. Never manage to get in conversations. The life I had lived is too short, and is a totally different world. Anyhoo, I'll be positive and try to meet someone that has my world likes, and possibly not more recruit training... SO BORING...
This was my first time with a dentist. GAWD The injection was scary, effing doctor pulled out a massive syringe and injected the lower part of my inner jaw. The feeling was horrible! It felt like my jaw was on fire, but then it was like an ant sting, 'til my whole jaw felt numb. I can barely speak!! I love talking. >.-.< Oh well... The dentist said it will only last a couple hours so... I'll be patient until my jaw recovers.
Ballad - can you do me this favor? Get me a copy of the San Diego Matrix training MCRD? and some Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics, like Danger Line and others... and MLP:FIM Lyrics!!! PLZ I'll thank you a lot, you will make my life a lot more easy. ( I have no idea what he's asking me for >.> )
I can't wait to get mail from you guys. I want to know about Sibby, Flutters, Ballad and Colton. Candice, NightWisp, Dreamsweet, Choco and Elzy, Kayzee and all the Loftians.
Week 3
I'm tired... At least I am resting on the seats in dental. I'm waiting to be called, so they can pull my wisdom teeth. I don't want to, but they need to be pulled. It's all right, the quality of their works seems good. Many got their teeth pulled or fixed and no one complained.
Yesterday I had bayonet training. They made us train the tactics - stab some dummies, run on a field while slashing and ambushing targets. Then, for one final test they opened a battle arena with the armor and pugil sticks. You had to combine the knowledge you had with the new skills you have learned and use them against another recruit. There's a judge that observes for the killing blow, then he stops it and yells "winner!" and I won!! A lower upper sting in the ribs and "DING" won the fight. Then, today, more martial CQC (close quarters combat ) fight techniques. This day, CQC was fun. It was "grab and disable". I still know my TKD skills. I can still kick higher than my head, so some extra battle knowledge will be great.
I am known by my whole platoon now. Everyone mentions or says ALVAREZ! "keep it up, you okay? good job, ya did great" etc. etc. Why? 'Cause all the drill instructors are on me. It's fun, nevertheless. I get I.T. every once in a while. Been getting good at it. It's not like they can kill me on doing something. They can get me very tired and sore, that's about it. I've been learning. I don't get called by D.I.s as often, anymore, but I am known by my platoon now. XD
Oh.. YEA! There was an obstacle course again, but this time you had to run it TWICE. I did not fail by running it twice, but climbing the rope... you had to climb it all the way up. I only climbed half of it, lost grip and slid all the way to the ground. I landed safely, but I failed. If I fail once more :/
I miss you all...
"All is fair in love and war" = Sibby cmon!
I miss some love... >.-.>
I don't know what else to say...
My mouth/jaw feels "feeless" XD All numb and stuff.
Boot camp is odd. I like/despise it - like 'cause in a way it's better than home, and bad 'cause there is no one next to me. I am alone with a lot of people around me. Baahhh! Just three months of training. I'll come out with money and hopefully I'll find or build my haven.
Please send me letters. I want to read my friends.

I'm mailing a reply this weekend. Hopefully it doesn't live up to the reputation of the term "snail mail".
