Welcome to week 3! The should be dealing with Pugil sticks, which for the life of me, look like giant Q-tips:) Hopefully, this will let them take out some of their frustrations. Here is what they look like:
We have received our second letter (JOY)! He sounded much more upbeat in this one! He says the food is pretty good, but they are salting everything to try to keep from sweating so much - hate to tell him, it's Parris Island - in the middle of summer - nothing is going to help. He was very proud of the fact that he had been told he made a tight rack - really - prior to this, I don't think he's made his bed 5 times throughout his life! He also has great rolled sleeves - so that's why he obsessed over doing them over and over for months before he left. He wrote that he had developed a love for hard-boiled eggs too.
In his letter, he wrote that it rained last Thursday (the letter was written on Friday) night. He describes it as insane - and that he thought it was a hurricane. Little did he know that off the coast of Florida the first tropical storm of the season - Author - was forming. Should hit the Carolina coast early tomorrow (7/3) and may be upgraded to a category 1 hurricane. I know they will be kept safe, it's just a little more training they will go through:)
News is that his friend, Cory Dismuke, is doing better and may resume training next week. Logan and Warren are rack mates. I can't tell you how relieved that made me feel. Logan has never had trouble making friends, but having a good friend whom you've know for a while, has got to be comforting - especially since you are going through the same experiences.
Keep praying!
