Hi everyone
This is Joy Glass, Jonathan Glass' wife. I will be posting letters that I get from him at Boot Camp (Recruit Training) on this blog for him.

Things happened so fast that its hard to keep track. They throw stuff at you, and then make you inventory it, yelling and ridiculing those who mess up. It happens a lot. Even I mess up occasionally. I already almost "this recruit" instead of "I."
The arrival was pretty crazy. A female drill instructor came up to the van door and just starts hollering in our faces. It was really hard to do what they asked us to, right after going through to silver hatches (oh doors) because my hands were shaking and they were screaming instructions while we had to shout, "Aye, sir" or "Yes, Sir." They took us to a lot of rooms, threw stuff at us and gave lots of instructions, then yelled at people who messed up.
Oh yeah, can't forget the medical check-ups. Shots are tomorrow. That will suck even more. Learning (and failing at) all the little details like how to hang up a bag. A lot of people are really dumb sometimes and get us in trouble. Our platoon gets yelled at a lot and we don't even have official drill instructors yet. We get them Friday. Still having fun in spite of it all though.
