IS A MARINE! as of 24 hours ago. he finished the crucible. that is 54 hours of no sleep and 3 MRE's which is NOT alot of food for 3 days. he humped (hiked) the Reaper... and came out... A United States Marine. Government Issued and everything. and i am SO proud of him. He is Absolutely Amazing. he set off to do something. and he DID IT!!!! and so now boys and girls... i present to you... my last letter i will receive from this part of our journey. i laughed, i cried... it moved me Bob... :) but really it was tender... and funny. have i mentioned lately that i Love Riley Gardiner! you should all be jealous.. cause he's MINE!!!!!!!! ok i'll quit bragging and just show you his letter.

Hey Babe/ Lethanial A. Smith

well Sav today is the day i leave up to the crucible :) a little nervous for it. The packs are pretty heavy. but i will be ok :) soo close babe so so so close :). well i passed the prac, it was pretty easy. i got 72 out of 80. well this will be the last letter you will get from me since i will be gone all this week and then next week you will be heading down here :) YAY i cannot wait.

This week really sucked. it went by so slow, we didn't do much so it gave me time to think which is never good. so i was pretty depressed this week. well when you get this the crucible will be pretty much over. YAY. i will be getting the warriors breakfast, being called a Marine :) 

Well just so you know, in my platoon i am in the second squad the eigth person back, so you can find me when i come marching out :)

well it's valentines day today. Another great day i cannot spend with my better half. you don't really think all of that is a big deal until it happens and you are in a place like where i am and it's rough. less than 2 weeks we will celebrate all of these holidays that i have missed!

Hey in the hotel we need to get: A Toaster, a box of eggo's, syrup, and peanut butter. so we will have to go to the store and get that stuff :) DON'T GO TO THE STORE WITHOUT ME!!! :)  well babe that is all i have to say, nothing really interesting happened this week. this week sucked. anyways i will see you very soon babe. i would say wish me luck this week. but i will be pretty much done when you get this :) so i Love you babe. less than two weeks i get to hold you again. you are going to be my strength to get me through this week. 

 Love,

The Nugget
