Hi everyone, I know its been a long time since I have posted, I have just had so much going on.
I have got a few letters in the mail in the past couple of weeks, so here is a little update.
Well last week was the official Week 3, also called "hell week" and man, they mean that literally. The entire had a hard week. Everyone got in trouble. Adam says that randomly throughout the 8 and a half weeks, during "chow time" they get called to the "snake pit. " The snake pit is where all the TI's sit when everyone eats. Anyway, Adam got called to the snake pit and had to answer questions, but he forgot to say his reporting statement (Sir/Maam, Trainee Graham, reports as ordered) so he got in big trouble. But it turned out that almost all the guys forgot to say the reporting statement, so they lost their phone calls for the week. :( So last Sunday, no call. But it happens, and we all are able to get through it. Adam did have his dorm inspections and PASSED! but he got in trouble for not putting his socks in the laundry bag and got a 341 pulled ( a 341 is a detention slip basically, and its inputted into the AF database) so Adam says if anyone wants to know his character as an Airman, they will see that he tends to forget about his socks. LOL that made me laugh.
I guess there is a lot of class time this week, and he says that the hardest thing is staying awake. Because he is an EC (which is where he has to watch over his flight for 2 hours while everyone sleeps) and he is an Academic advisor, or something to that effect lol, and he has to help all the other guys study. So needless to say, he doesn't get much sleep.
Also this week, he had to do "details" which is when they have to go somewhere and do grunt work. He was supposedly lucky to get the warehouse, but it turned out to be a horrible, they got in trouble the whole time and he said he never wants to do that again. Poor guys.
AND, I guess some guys from his flight was being stupid and were being loud so they lost their phone calls for this week too. So lame!
Oh and I guess a woman TI came up to him one day while he was standing in the line to get lunch and asks if he shaved, and he did, so he said yes, and then she said that he was calling her a liar, so he had to go and shave AGAIN! lol so I guess now he shaves twice a day. He says he tries his hardest to not get in trouble, but he keeps getting yelled at for small silly things. :( lol
Another thing we found out during Week 3 is that we won't know what his official job is till Week 8, which sucks, but we can't do anything about it. So lets just hope for the best!
I guess that Adam is kind of known as the positive guy in the Flight. He says at night he goes and shakes hands with most of the guys and tells them goodnight, and calls everyone buddy. He also says that he constantly tries to encourage everyone, and they all really appreciate it. LOL yep that sounds like my hubby!
Adam said that Texas is actually really pretty but BMT has ruined it for him, so he is anxious and happy about going to Mississippi for Tech School. But on the plus side, my best friend's boyfriend (soon-to-be husband :) ) Steven is going there also, so he is happy he has a friend going with him.
OH and a good bit of news!!! Adam was able to go to processing last Friday and was able to get all of our information sorted out, so thats great news!!! I'll finally be able to have insurance and get my base ID. But as the moto goes, Im sure we hurried up, just to sit and wait. So I'm not stressing it.
Well, its Friday of the official Week 4 now, and he said that Week 4 was supposed to be pretty easy, and nothing like Week 3, so he is excited. After this week, on Sunday, he will enter Week 5 and only 3 weeks to go till graduation!!! We are both soooo ready!!!
He says he misses everyone, he said to tell everyone hi and that he will be home soon! Please keep praying for him.
