    So,,,,,,

    I got my first letter from MarinesFTW today. He's askin what the He!! he got himself into. Askin for moto.

    look, children. There ain't any rose gardens where your going. We Marines try to tell you this. LIving from chow to chow and Sunday to Sunday [his words], is all you can hope for. that and survivin,,,,
    Worst for him are the shetbirds, ,,,you try like he11 and there are those 10 who are fkn things up for all. It Sucks.

    Be real, be self incorporated monsters, be brainless robots,,,,,, leave your ego with Mama, and your cryin with Suzie,,,,,,,

    you WILL acheve your goal,, or live broken. Your choice.

    I gotta go do some letter chewing, on a young friend.

    P Friggin S,,,,,,,,He loves drill, and is good at it.

    Your "Friend',,,,,,,Sparkie.

    It sounds like the scariest part about Recruit Training is not knowing what you're in for... then when it all hits you you're completely unprepared for it. I hope he makes it... he was a super motivated Poolee and seemed like an all-around good guy. Thanks for the update, Sgt.

    He'll make it. He was really motivated. Things will look up. That's what I will keep in mind during those first couple of weeks. Things will get better, this won't last forever. I wish I could write to him, but by the time it got to him, I'd already be there!

    Any updates from MarinesFTW? He should almost be done with first phase by now.

    He won't die.

    Every Marine has to go through the same thing.

    You can be the most prepared and still it won't be enough.
