Dear Steve,
Sorry I didn't write sooner. Tonight is the first real chance I've had to write a letter, since I didn't pass out after dinner for once.
Basic is hell and I want to come home so bad I can taste it. I miss you, I miss our shitty apartment, and I miss Brooklyn. Hell, I even miss the upstairs neighbor and his showtunes at three in the morning! Bugles are the worst possible way to wake up and the food is terrible. I'll take your culinary misadventures with rations anytime over the slop they call food. And worst of all, the beds are cold and empty. Guess I got too used to waking up to beautiful blonds in the morning, huh? They have us training and doing drills all day, every day, except Sundays (what's this thing you call a "weekend"?). It's all crawling under barbed wire through the mud, running with heavy packs, endless pushups and way too much marching to be healthy. We haven't even fired a gun yet.
My CO is a lot like Sammy, that guy who used to stop by the YMCA years ago. Remember him? Big fella, snapped his suspenders all the time, and wore that stupid hat? Every time I see my CO, I think of that drawing you did of Sammy as a little dog and have to try not to laugh.
The guys in my squad aren't so bad, though.
- There's Danny McCullough, a guy from Indiana. He has some good stories about the cops in South Bend, where he grew up. When this is over, he wants to go to Notre Dame and get a law degree, he says, and maybe replace the current dynasty of police chiefs in there. He says they're a bunch of weenies.
- Bedros Arvanigian is an Armenian kid from a little town out in California (he says it's easier to call him Pete and I can see why. What a name!). He's got a pretty girl and they've got a couple kids. He wouldn't quit showing us the pictures he has of them for about the first two days. I guess he's nervous about being so far away.
- Jack Savoi is a guy from New Orleans and he has got the thickest damn accent I ever heard. He says the same thing about me, though, in between muttering about being thrown in with a bunch of Yankees, and we have to slow down and repeat things for each other all the time. I have never said "pass the salt" so many times in my life as I did the first day.
- We also have a guy from Michigan who calls himself a "yooper" (what is that even?). His name is David Erikson, and he's giant, blond, and the grimmest, most sarcastic person I have ever met. Sometimes he's funny, but mostly he's just bitter. I don't know why. He doesn't talk too much, except for the one liners that I'm convinced he rehearses in from of the mirror every morning, so I haven't been able to figure him out just yet.
But anyway, how is it at home? How are you and those lungs of yours? You're not getting into any fights, are you? I'm not there to save your skin, you know. My pay should be coming soon and tell everyone else I said hi.
Can't wait to come home,
Bucky
