Surviving BOOTcamp - Part 1 of 9 - Enlisting

Dear Online buddies,

Hi! It's Alex Murray! You may not remember me but I know you know me. I was the kid at the back of the class that no one talked to but everyone laughed at. I was the guy with those hip glasses who always dressed to please Mother by tucking in my lime-green turtle neck shirt. In fact I dressed so well that many of my peers seemed jealous and would ridicule me, but I never paid them any mind. Anway, now that your memory is refreshed, I am proud to announce that I am no longer going to be a nerd. I am going to Military Bootcamp! I hope to gain much information and can't wait to sit around a warm campfire toasting marshmallows telling ghost stories! This is going to be the best thing ever! Well, bye for now! Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Online buddies,

Today I talked to what you would call a recruiter. He said he was going to tell me about this wonderful event called bootcamp but I beseeched him not to. Instead, I asked how to join. After I enlisted, signing paper after paper, he handed me a list of what to bring to bootcamp and what not to bring. I gave him my contact number and he assured me before he left that he would be calling in the next couple of days to let me know when I would be leaving. "In the meantime," the recruiter went on, "I want you to have your bags packed in accordance to the list. Nothing less, nothing more." I nodded and began packing. I made a mental note not to bring any electronical devices. The recruiter said they would shoot me if I had anything electronical - assuming it was a bomb. I laughed. The grizley man seemed to have a good sense of humor, which only made me more eagar to go! The list was stingy and after only packing what I would call essentials I began to play some online RPG games. It's roughly 1:30 in the AM so I think I'm going to "hit the sack".

Dear Online buddies,

This is IT!!! I am due to leave tomorrow at noon! Since I can't bring my laptop, cell phone, Ipad, Ipod, PSP or anything like that I will be witting you via hand-written letters (you remember? Those things they had in the sixties) so be sure to check for them everyday in the mailbox (that black thing right outside your house) as I tell you how grand a time I'm having (try not to get jealous). I will write you tomorrow!
