The Office

I have a new recruiter, his name is Sergeant Sugano. He's HUGE! He looks like a life size action figure, no kidding. I'll try to get some new pictures of the office as it has changed somewhat.
For now, OORAH!

Recruit Gonzales II

This is another excerpt from a letter from my friend Recruit Gonzales, Armilio.
Hey, Dalton,
how's it goin' bro? I got all your letters, don't worry ha ha. We've been up north though and there's not very much time to do anything so I write when I have some time on my hands. We shot "table one" this last week and I qualified expert so that was pretty cool. We did our eight mile hump yesterday and it was way easy! 5 miles was harder. How's poolie life? Any fun pool functions? Anyone ship from Logan recently? Well write back soon thanks for writing!
Rec. Gonzales
Well, Recruit, you only have about six more weeks. It takes hard work and a lot of motivation to even make it that far, so you've got what it takes to go the rest of the way. OORAH!

Recruit Gonzales

This is an excerpt out of a letter sent to me by Recruit Gonzales, Armilio.
"Well bootcamp is goin' all right, the first two weeks really stink I'm not gonna lie, but it's mainly 'cause we were not used to it yet but now it's more of a routine and it"s just like Wheeler says, "You gotta take it one chow at a time." I didn't fully get that until I got here, haha!
( At least it's good though!) Time goes by pretty fast it feels like we've only been here a week but it's already been a week almost! I hope it goes faster I can't wait to get home and see everyone!"
Well, there's a peep into the world of a recruit at MCRD. I will try to keep the blog posted with excerpts from letters as I want you guys to know what's goin' on up at San Diego. OORAH!
