Lots of Letters

We received a whole pile of letters - one for Steve, one for Mom, one for Danny, two for me (Larry) and one for the family in general.

1) He sent a sketch of his barracks.When they order a "redline", the troops have to store their stuff and assemble in alphabetical order upstairs in 10 seconds.
2) One of the recruits punched a wall after receiving a "Dear John" letter, and was discharged pending repairing his hand. Will have to restart basic training later.
3) Tim is sad to miss March birthdays - Libby's, mine and his.
4) They may have cheeseburgers in the chow line soon and Tim is hoping to get one before they run out.
5) Mormon service last Sunday was a flop.
6) They are up at 4:30 am and must be assembled outside at 5:05 am.
7) While on "fireguard" at night, they are generally cleaning the barracks.
8) Tim wants Debbie to bring Buckeye candy for his buddies on family day.
9) Tim wrote me a very, very nice birthday letter.
10) Tim wants to remind us that he is handling everything fine.Don't worry...
11) They are completely isolated from news, etc.
12) he's sick of freezing rain!
13) he's hoping to make a phone call this weekend.
