No News is Good News
On Friday I received an introductory form letter from Jubal's Drill Instructor as well as a form letter from Jubal with his permanent address. Because of this, I was certainly not expecting anything from Jubal today in the mail. When I opened the mailbox and saw the already familiar Eagle, Globe and Anchor with Jubal's magnifying glass-worthy handwriting, I was surprised. Upon closer inspection, surprise morphed into amused bewilderment when I realized that the envelope was completely void of any correspondence. It's good to know that Jubal was listening well when, during our briefing, his recruiter told us that "no news is usually good news".

He probably is required to send his family his address, but has absolutely no time to do anything but what they tell (yell at) him right now. I honestly have no idea how people get through Marine Corp boot camp. I used to drive on base sometimes in the early morning and pass the poor broken female recruits. They'd be sitting on a bench with crutches near where the other ones were all in "perfect" formation getting reamed out. Those female drill instructors are something else. :) I'm sure the male drill instructors are no picnic either.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts were originally along those same lines, Tracy because it came right on the heels of the other one but the date is 3 days after the first one. Haha, who knows. Poor Jubal.
