Dear Rachel,
Sorry to hear about sharing a bathroom – I know how you feel about your beauty routine. But look at it this way, this will be really good practice for when we live together and share a bathroom.
We finally get to use guns at the army base; we're in what's called Phase II or the White Phase. It's also called the Gunfighter Phase. The next two weeks are really important to me; if I don't pass weapons training, I can't move onto Phase III. I've come so far to have to turn back now. Mom and Burt are convinced that I'll be awesome – all of that video game training is finally being put to good use, or at least that's what Mom says.
I'm getting more used to my own routine – getting up at 4:30 every morning isn't exactly fun. It makes me miss high school, where I could just sleep in Homeroom and our teacher never bothered to notice. The drill sergeants notice everything here. They literally have eyes in the back of their head. And they love pitting us against each other in little contests and trials. They say that it instills a sense of competition.
Last night I learned how to boil pasta. Since I already know how to heat store-bought sauce, I can cook you spaghetti when we see each other again. By that time I want to learn how to cook meatballs too.
Hope you're having a lot of fun in the city. My first leave will be for Thanksgiving. Everyone in the army gets a total of 30 days a year. I figure if I save up my days, we can spend a whole week together at some point.
Love Finn.
