Woo-hoo, got a phone call today from Brittany. This is the 1st call (besides the 15 second "I got here" call)
She is in great spirits. She sounds like she's having the time of her life. Being raised in a military family, I think she was hardened. She is very strong and doesn't let anything get to her.
She says she is the only gal in her "flight" that hasn't cried yet. A "flight" is a division or group of people. Of the 42 gals in her flight, only 17 are active duty. All the others are reservist or part of the Air National Guard (I believe).
She says her physical fitness is going really good:
Last weeks 1 1/2 mile run time: 17:30
This weeks 1 1/2 mile run time: 14:50
Last weeks push-ups: 17
This weeks push-ups: 27
Last weeks sit-ups: 25
This weeks sit-ups: 36
She said that she has gotten in trouble once. They were working out with a guy "flight", and their (the guys) Training Instruction (TI) made all the guys yell out "POP". Then the TI told them that he wanted them to get use to it because that is the sound they will hear with they finally get the heads out of their butts. This cracked her up and they saw her laughing, thus getting in trouble.
She asked for the drivers license # of those that plan on going to her graduation. That way they will be able to enter the base.
She said she has been really busy and can't write much, but she can receive letters everyday. She wants to keep her mind occupied and wanted me to send pictures and/or news clippings, but said don't send food or candy since she will be in trouble.
I plan on telling her about the Meth Lab in our neighborhood.
Brittany's Dad ~
