Having had a similar experience 40 years ago, I survived boot camp
40 years ago!!!??? That would mean your...well....um...OLD!! Hey, I was thinking of you tonight...I'm leaving for a 200 mile poker run bike ride at 8AM on the Shadow and thought I ought to ride up and see you sometime when I get the Royal Star...
Well I got my first letter from my son, this is what it said...Hey Mom and Dad, This sux I haven't slept in about 40 hours, I'm sore from standing in processing lines so much. It's not supposed to get much better so thats not cool. Well I don't get much time so I'd better go. Maybe I'll get to call soon so I'll talk to you later.And then in very faint pencil on the back of the paper he wrote...Help me get out of here! I guess thats why they don't let them call home for at least three weeks.I hope his next letter is a little longer and a bit more positive.
