Yeah! I finally received some letters from Bubba. I was so excited when I checked the mail! Things were tough at first, but they are looking up. Bubba definitely doesn't like people to get in his face and yell... hahaha. He started out at as a fire monitor or "garbage man" which he said was way better than some of the other jobs. Later in the week he got "promoted" to an Element leader. There are 4 Element leaders and 1 Dorm Chief. He is "in charge" of 13 other guys. He said the guys in his flight are finally getting the hang of it and have started working together. From the first letter in the envelope to the last his tone got more and more happy. He looks forward to Sundays because they don't have TI's yelling at them all day. He also said the food is pretty decent and that it isn't as bad as most people make it out to be. His letters were mostly about his days getting up at 445 and going to bed anywhere between 2100 and 2300. He has been doing lots of running and marching, but said for the most part he really likes it.
I hope to hear from him soon and will keep you all informed on what is going on in the lives of us Wests!
Welcome to the wonderful world of the military. Glad things are looking up and he's enjoying it a little more. I knew it would only be a matter of time and he would be in charge of a group...he's too smart and good not to be in a leadership position.
