After receiving a letter from my young cousin from Parris Island, I felt it only right I return a letter to him at Boot Camp. Besides, sending a recruit a letter addressed from a Sergeant Major was too good an opportunity to pass up: J, No doubt by now you’ve discovered Recruit Training is nothing like you imagined. It will continue to be. I never worried about what we were doing the next day or next week or next month. I simply endured each day until graduation. Just let boot camp happen to you as it does. I think it’s the best way to experience it. For you, time does not exist, only missions and obstacles to overcome in order to complete them.
That's literally a letter for dealing with life at times.
I try to be a full service shoulder to cry on!
