Hey, PFC –
We checked out the pictures of your time with your folks and printed our a couple. Grammy is framing them, so you’re in her “rogues gallery” now.
Sharp uniforms. Quite a difference from the older-style fatigues and “class A’s” they used to have. Some of the dress uniforms I’ve seen are really fancy. We’ll have to see when you get out of basic.
Sounds like the real training is about to start for you with all the rough stuff slated for the next few weeks. Getting into the REAL army now. I keep telling people that the purpose of a soldier is not to spend his time marching in parades and spit-shining his shoes; it’s to fight for his country. So — best o’ luck. Hope to see you when you get some leave.
Luv an’ stuff
Grampa (and Grammy, too!)
