Came home from work to find 2 letters in the mailbox from DS. First letter was basically a recap of the events of Iday that he told us about after the Oath of Office Ceremony. The second letter was one of the "questionnaire" letters we had given him to fill out. He checked off a lot of the funny answers, he checked off that he was having fun and that he was having a hard time. He felt like he had performed pretty good on his IST (got compliments from his squad leader). He asked for homemade cookies and "news from the outside world". Said he didn't need any gatorade or protein bars at this time. Said that they were making them drink a lot of gatorade. He was excited that they got to sleep in on 4th of July (until 7). He said it was a fun day. All in all mostly positive stuff. Makes this mom feel a lot better at this time
