We received another packet of letters from Tim on Friday, but did not receive a phone call Sunday as we had hoped.
Here are some highlights from the letters:
1) Letters dated 2/23 through 3/1, including one undated (probably 3/2)
2) He has not yet received any mail (he should be getting a bunch very soon). We've sent lots of letters, so I suspect they are holding it until they are ready to give it to him.
3) He is interested in any news or current events. You can send news articles if there are no pictures.
4) They saw a hygiene presentation with 70 slides about STD's.
5) A couple of his comrades got in trouble for misc. violations, so his whole barracks was punished.
6) Ran the obstacle course, which is more difficult than it looks.
7) Tim reported to sick bay for treatment of a sinus/respiratory infection.
Debbie is concerned about the sinus infection. Obviously, conditions are not ideal for getting better, getting extra sleep, staying warm, etc. Please pray for Tim's health.
I have uploaded one of Tim's letters to our Sears6.com web site. Tim writes very small, and very faint, so I enlarged and darkened the letter to make it readable. Also note, that to be "smoked" is to be punished with physical punishment - usually "planking" (holding a push-up in the up position). To see the letter, click this link.
