What's Up Chuck?
Monday, September 26
On Saturday I got a letter from Chuck. I typed it up all nice and neat (cause Charlie doesn't really have the best handwriting... neither do I... I'm just saying), so here it is!
Hello All,
Things here are going good so far. I haven't actually started basic yet, but I've been issued all of my cool gear. It's been a lot of fun. There are a lot of crazy people in my platoon. We're always laughing, and always doing push-ups. Probably the most funny thing was, we where at rollcall, and the guy "cassanova" gots his number called to line-up. But he just sits there with the deer in the headlights routine. It looked like he was going to say something but he didn't. Anyway the Drill Sergant got up in his face and said, "Beat your face!" we laughed, even though we didn't know it means do push-ups, and cassanova didn't know it either. So he's still staring blankly, and Drill Sergant just starts yelling "Beat your face! Beat your face! it was classic. It really is surprisingly chill right now. The non-commissioned officers are always joking around with us, and giving us shit. There is one guy here with a superman tattoo, and when we where getting our vaccination shots, he said something like "man of steel my foot, I just stuck five needles in you." Anyway, there is always something going on, and it keeps me busy, but I'll try and keep you all posted. Oh yeah, since I'm not actually in basic, I don't have a return address yet. As soon as I do I'll let you know. Well I guess that's about it right now, when you party for Halloween have a drink for me. =P
As always
Charlie Jones
