Friday-12-Feb-2016

I miss your food and your kind words and you listening to me.  
Thank you for the T.P.  My butt appreciates it.  Thank you for the stamps.  Everyone will appreciate that.  Thank you for the Valentines.  They make me so happy.  The Drill Sgts. gave me crap about them and laughed but let me keep them!  They made me feel so loved.  
Ashlyn had some friends from Logan write me Valentines and I loved them so much.  It made me so excited to go back to Logan!  Logan really is where I want to be.  I've made up my mind.  I love the environment there.  I need it.  Funny Coincidence:  One of the males in my Platoon is from a small town in Idaho (no clue what it was) and goes to USU!  Crazy huh?  he goes to church with me so I'm going to talk to him about it but it tripped me out. 
This week has been rough.  We;ve been preparing for marksmanship qualifications (shooting), so working with our weapons 24/7.  Also we've been in charge of all prep, management, and take down.  It's tiring.  But it's almost over and we moved into White Phase!  No more red phase~  So wee get more privileges and leadership opportunities.  It'll be nice.  After White is Blue.  One Step closer.  41 days left!  
We did our 8 K rock march on Thursday so my feet are pretty much dead and blistered.  But it wasn't that bad.
The ratio of males to females in the Battery is a new and unheard of number.  80:120.  But it's usually like 170;30.  So the sexist leadership (only one D.S.) has a hard time with it.  There's 201 in our Battery and 50 in our Platoon.  But one girl in our Platoon had bad back problems and went home.  Another female found out she was 6 weeks preggo.  A male has crones.  Another one has a hernia.  So we now have 46? I think.  What Battery is your friend's son in?
I finally shaved my legs and it feels awesome.  Like a dolphin.  Made me so happy.  Our showers are no longer monitored and they're warm now.   
Sundays are still my favourite.  Church keeps me in the green.  It keeps things in perspective and helps me remember the light and the end of the tunnel.  So do your letters.
I love everyone who's been sending me mail and am thankful for those who support me.  Miss you so much.  Hope you and dad have a great week. :) 
lot's of love your way, Chloe
