I got a letter from my brother, Shawn today.
I would like to share it. It reads as follows. I have not edited a thing.

Quote:
Hey Craig why didnt you warn me it was this hard? I can only do about half of the pushups and situps needed to pass the first physical fitness test which is in a week! You should have Dad call the recruiter and let him know how I do have asthema. I tried to lie because DAD told me to and if I get a chance im going to tell them bout the misdameanor charge I have because I want to come home.I'm going AWOL the first time I get to come home! But I just wanted to say I'm very pissed for dad tricking me into this and Mom not stoping me. crying If you can, I would like you, Nicole, Skylar, and everyone else that wants to come to family day (march 15th) and graduation (march 16th) if I even pass this test!!! Please make sure mom and dad and Nicole if she gets my address all write me 4 times a week with pictures of the animals and each other.

PS - You better write back too! lol talk to ya soon.

Thanks, Love Shawn.

O and have mom write me Nicoles address and zipcode.


His address is:

E-2 Butler, Shawn M.
1st PLT
C.CO. 2-46IN.
3576 Wilson Road
Fort Knox, KY 40121-5728

CyKa, If I could ask a favor? Your husband is in the Army (I believe). Could you have him write to shawn about what it was like for him to go through Bootcamp? Navy bootcamp was far different than the Armys I'm sure. I would be eternally grateful.

Now I have to go buy stamps to send him a letter myself, as well as some to send him. He apparently didnt get to buy any according to the two letters he sent my mother. rolleyes

EDIT: And yes, he drew a crying face on the letter. Call me crazy, but I think someone is homesick.

50 of each I think. Dont quote me on that. In 2 minutes. Thats the minimum requirement.

In the sixth grade, I was the only female to pass the presidential fitness test, and set cute litte school records. 69 situps in a minute, all the way to the knees, bitches, and 57 pushups in a minute, kissing the ground. And your brother sounds really nice, I almost want to send him a letter myself. xD

Good luck with sending him a letter. He went AWOL, and got caught at a walmart as of yesterday morning. I got the 'pleasure' of speaking to the police, and some sergeant over the phone randomly all day yesterday.

wow I can actually do like 60 something in a row....got nothin' on carrots though
Your brother sounds like a musician sweatdrop ... but I guess everyone has music in them

my brothers are bad to; they don't get caught though xp

and the punishment for going AWOL is?

Ace: Depends on the amount of time gone. Jail time, loss of pay, loss of rank, extra duty to name a few. Since he was only gone a few hours, and didnt miss any training, I doubt it will be too serious.
