Navy Boot Camp ( another letter home from my son ) and a Call from my Daughter in the Navy

I just got the mail and got another letter from my son that is in Navy Boot Camp. Here is the rest of his schedule. He Graduates August 10th. :)

He says " don't send newspapers" but if you see anything interesting in the news you can quote it. Can you tell me what else is going on in the world? What's on CNN? Top Stories?

The weather here is nice. It's in the 80s. Most of the people here say it is too hot. They use "heat conditions" which is like a heat warning system. When it gets to heat conditions ( which is like 85 degrees ) we are not allow to double time outside.

This week was mainly marching and PT. We are going to play a joke on one of the Petty Officers ( It was the Chiefs idea ) and instead of the AROC ( assignment recruit petty officer ) Singing the normal 123... 2341 412 3 crap he's going to do one to the tone of Johnny Comes Marching Home 1234 your 1 your 1 your 1234. It's pretty fast and we have to stay in step with it. It's 3s are left foot and 2s and 4s are right foot. We had a 12 min run on Friday, I helped people with getting their breathing under control. I am pretty good at the now. Our Division still sucks on counter marching, mainly because "starboard watch" is an idiot and can't figure out when he is supposed to stop... And the flag holders take tiny steps because they are all really short. A counter march turns the Division around.
