BCT Day 3

My platoon kept making the same mistake and we got smoked royally for it. Shirts completely soaked in sweat. We had a talk after that though, and made progress. We’re starting to get the team concept.

The first week of basic involves boring classes in which you get smoked for falling asleep. It happened to a lot of people. Tsk tsk, no discipline.

Nothing really interesting yet. We’re just getting smoked a lot. Sorry for the boring letter, but I’m too tired. Good night. I miss you all so much and I’m eager to start receiving letters.
