The First Letter

I got my first letter from Jed today. It really didn't say too much. The first week was a lot of paperwork and hurry up and wait as he called it. In one day he got 7 shots, which he wasn't real pleased about. Then, the next day they ran the mile. He said it was raining while they ran, but it was so nice to be outdoors and doing something. He also said that they only have time to inhale the food, so even if it tastes bad it wouldn't matter...ha! Finally, he said he was actually looking forward to getting to basic, that he knew it wouldn't be easy, but he would actually be doing something so he was hoping the time would pass faster that way. There is not an address yet because he hadn't officially shipped to basic. I'm hoping there will be one with the next letter and then I can post it for anyone to write to him.

Small Update

The only thing I really have to report is that Jed arrived safely in Missouri. He got to call me for about 4 minutes the day after he got there. He said it would definitely be an adjustment and he wasn't sure how he was going to get through 10 weeks, but didn't get to say much more than that before it was time to get off the phone. Then he got to call again about 3 days later....this time for 7 minutes! YAY! Anyway, he said they had run the mile and, thankfully, his toe was doing fine....for those of you who didn't know he fell down the stairs the Saturday before he was supposed to report to MEPS and we weren't sure how running would go because he either jammed his toe really badly, or broke it. Anyway, he also said he likes the ACU's and that, although hot, they are very comfortable. That is really about all for now. We haven't gotten any letters or an address to write to him yet, I will post again when we do.
