This is the last letter I received from James in Basic
Training. He is now home, catching up with his responsibilities and getting
ready for AIT.
Today was a great day. Started the morning off having to
work the last fireguard shift which was my third night for the night at 0500. Since
I was up I got a quick workout and shower before chow. A big Sunday breakfast
was on my menu and it was delish. Afterwards we cleaned some before leaving for
church service. It was a beautiful day and we were awarded a “Sandhill” pass
today. That means we can go anywhere on Sandhill and do whatever within limits.
YESSSS mam!!!!!! Service was packed and was the second to the last one for our
group and for the cycle as well before exodus. The Chaplin was in a holiday
mood so threw in Jingle Bells in at the end for fun. Afterwards my group went
to the Rec center. We ate Subway for lunch. I’m not a big fan of Subway but
after 9 weeks of MRE’s and defac food the chicken, bacon ranch, sour cream and
onion chips and coke tasted like Heaven. We then needed to waste time before the
PX opened so we went to the computer room and browed everyone’s Facebook. Next was
the PX trip. On this trip was the ice cream shop. BAM- 2 scoops of chocolate in
a waffle cone. Again, not an ice cream fan but this rocked. Then back to the
rec center. It was 1300 and NFL football time. We got to sit down and watch the
first half of the Cincinnati vs Pittsburg. I think that’s who it was but either way it
was football. Freedom was nice. About 1400 we headed back to our normal
cleaning duties but by then the day was already made. Its 213 and about to be
lights out. We have 0300 and 0400 fireguard with 0430 wakeup so its bed time.
Hope everybody had a blessed Sunday and only 9 days left.
