So I have no clue what I've told y'all, so I'll start from the top. I got an M-16! His name is Goose and Larkin named hers Maverick. Cool, huh? I can take him apart and put him back together pretty quickly. I'm proud of myself. We start at the range next week and I'm pumped to see how my shot is! I want to keep a good shot. Our (my Platoon's) rifle movements are the best in the Battery. We have all of the other Platoons hating on us. We do well working together but not on a social level. Girls will be girls. Apparently the cycle of soldiers has the most females ever. Just our Battery has a 80:120 male to female ratio. So Girl Power.
I went through the gas chambers the other day. It was bad but not 100% horrible. It was like tons of pepper in my lungs and sinuses. Sadly, I didn't throw up. But my Drill Sgt. was dancing around w/glow sticks, his gas mask, music blasting, and beat boxing. We love laughing so hard but he made it less tense.
I almost shaved my head..then I chickened out even though my hair is annoying.
All of the mail I get has made me smile. I love it. And I'm thankful for everyone who has written me.
Larkin and I went to the Wiccan Service on Sunday and I am so grateful that I'm LDS. lol I missed church, But she'll come with me next week, so that will be fun. The Church actually sent me a thank you letter for my decision to serve in the Military. It made me feel special.
We've slowly realized that life keeps on going even though we're here. One female found out that her dad died so she was given 10 days leave. Another male found out his wife is expecting. Life keeps on going. It's crazy.
I love you guys so much. You're in my prayers all of the time. (If you've been praying for me to have good weather, it worked) Thank you for everything.
xoxo Love, Chloe
I think we found her on Facebook! Not on the wall, but that was one of the things that she has had to do, so I put that picture. (Love, her Mom)
