My brother sent a letter and I got it today. I have an address to send him stuff. I'm going to send him bigger paper because he's writing on like the smallest notebook paper i have ever seen.
*deep breath* here it goes
Hey,
This place is hell. I get shipped out to basic today from reception. I'm kinda nervous but I'll be alright now. I talked to meagan and I told her how scared I was. Well actually, I cried like a little girl. I made a mistake by coming here but very slowly it's starting to look better. I've only been here for a week but it feels like months. When I get home I plan on taking a long vacation. A couple guys I bunked with were upset that they didn't get to ship with me. We all agreed to stay in contact though when we get out. Right now I'm still waiting to ship. They yell at me everyday. Not like mom does though. Its louder, I have to listen. I'm ok. I hope you are too. Write soon. I guess I'll write again when I can.
Love ya,
Stevie
Meagan said her letter was worse. He's missing home and me and her and the family and he graduates october 15th but doesn't come home till February 3. He'll be ok, he'll make it through, he just needs us to cheer him on, thats what i'll keep telling myself. Even though I want to write "please come home. run away I wont tell them you are hiding in the closet!"
