Mother and Father,
Happy Monday! Well more like happy Presidents Day! Since it's a holiday, pretty much the whole post has the day off. So we have like 3/13 Drill Sergeants here playing Military movies for the whole Battery. It's comfortable and somewhat entertaining. I mean I'm getting paid for it, right? The movies have a lot of blood and violence, which doesn't phase me but I look around and some soldiers (both male and female) are having a hard time with it. Like you joined the Army... This is something that happens. We don't learn to shoot M-16's for Merit Badges.
Yesterday, being Valentines day, 2nd Sunday, and the first Sunday of white phase, was a good day. All of the females in by bay love you mom and say thank you so much for the little Valentines. It made them feel loved and supported. Since it was the 2nd Sunday at church, we got refreshments , heart shaped, homemade sugar cookies and brownies. Real sugar never tasted so good. They don't give us any real sugar in the chow hall. And last, but not least, since it was the first Sunday of white phase, we got our phones for like 5-10 minutes. Like the idiot I am, I started getting all teary eyed when I talked to dad. I've really missed hearing your voices. I tried calling Erin, but she didn't answer. I'll have to try again next time. I sent out a few texts to people who I wish I had time to call. I hope it surprised them. It was weird holding my phone though...
We start learning land navigation on Wednesday. So if I get lost in the "woods" I blame it on the lack of mountains. That's the only sense of direction I have.
Hopefully we get to go to the store soon because I'm running low on Shampoo and conditioner. Maybe I'll buzz my hair to 1/4 inch like some of the females . Less trouble.
That's pretty much everything so far. Keep me updated on everything. I love hearing news.
Love, Chloe
p.s. I got called to be a greeter on Sundays, not a big calling but I'm excited for it.
