Riley's BootCamp update.

well last week i didn't really post anything of his letter on here. Cause it was a 4-page super mushy one! it was insanely perfect, however, it was meant for me and not for all my adoring blog stalkers :) he seemed really homesick though, luckily this week he seemed much less homesick. i got a letter PLUS a survey back. he loves that i send him surveys, i'll leave out a few things that are only between the 2 of us, but HERE YA GO!!!!! once again the only thing i'm adding in are the things in the ( )'s

5 weeks left babe :) when you get this it will be close to 4 weeks. and i will be back down at mcrd for phase 3. :) read letter for more info:)

and then here is his letter. it wasn't really mushy at all... mostly just info packed. so i will type the whole thing in cause you're interested. and just in cause you were curious. i only post things i know he wouldn't mind being shared. i post on here so his friends and family members can see how he's doing, it saves me alot of time on the phone with people reading it over and over!

Weekly Letter

well babe sitting here in church like always when i write you. So here is your weekly letter :)

well i love the survey's you send, makes answering questions very easy. well i made

it though rifle qualifications. i was really worried about it but i passed :)

found out Steven's is a pretty good shot, but i am glad thats over. i have completed

the 3 mile 5 mile and 8 mile hikes, the sucked but i got through it. well you booked the hotel

already eh thats cool but scary all at the same time i hope i don't get dropped for anything or that would suck. i think the only thing that can stop me now is the prac test which you know i am 

scared of :) but i will get through it :) i was going to tell ya don't get your patriarchal blessing yet, lets get them together i think that would be a good thing to do together. 

you were asking me about a kid in my platoon that has been dropped from being sick. yes we had one, he overheated and i guess right now he is still in medical his body won't regulate his heat so he might be going home. but we actually had probably 4-5 people dropped for different reasons you also asked me about being sick. and i didn't want to tell ya but i actually have been sick since the end of week one. so i have been sick for a while :) but i am still pushing through so don't worry about me for that, also on your survey you asked me about weight i think i have lost muscle mass so that really sucks. i am excited to get home and start working out again :) i have decided i am more fit at home than here. remind me when i see you and i will tell you why. well thats my weekly letter i love you with all my heart you are keeping me going babe

love 

Cute Bum

so there you go! if anyone is wondering anything about bootcamp, let me know and i'll throw it on my next survey!
