Jeremy called home and it was great to talk to him.

March 4th.
Yesterday was another chance to practice for the graduation performance. We not only play for our graduation but the two before us as well. My lips aren't what they used to be, but the performance is only three songs; it's the practices that I can't last through.
My feet are doing alright, they hurt but so does every ones. I had a blister that popped yesterday during PT that hurt a lot but it's better now. I'm going to "sick call" Monday morning to follow up and maybe get some moleskin bandages.
I'm working hard, I got 5.0's on all tests/ inspections so far and I was one of the few to pass the first fitness test (only 14 out of 80-something passed.) The military bearing stuff is still the hardest. I have to break my old speaking habits; no looking at people in the eye when talking, no talking with my hands, "say again?" instead of "what?", and so on.
When you write, feel free to send along news clippings (or jokes, or any of the stuff you usually forward in emails.) And let that be known on the blog too.
