This is the last letter from Andrew at Navy boot camp. The next post will probably be by Andrew himself after he graduates on Friday, September 28th. Here are some portions of his latest letter:
"As for liking boot camp, to be totally honest with you, right now it isn't that bad. We have a steady but busy routine and we have managed to pull together as a division. And today we ABSOLUTELY SMOKED our mid assessment test, scoring a 4.92. A new record. So far we have set several test records and we are sure to Hall of Fame if we don't screw up between now and graduation." "We had our final practice this morning for our 1st graduation performance on Friday. It can't wait. I should be fun. Think about it, how many other people can say that they were a side boy at the Navy graduation ceremonies? I do have my moments of "fun", we get our laughs in and RDC's have let up immensely as we get more experienced and deeper into training." "Last night (Sept. 14) we had our final run, a 20 minute sustained. At the PT hall someone lift on a tv over a treadmill and the Red Sox were playing at Fenway. Every time I went around that part of the track my head was turned trying to catch and take in all that familiar and loved stuff. Fenway Park was a sight for sore eyes. However, I couldn't get close enough to see the score and if I stopped I failed." "I am going to try to go to church at the 8:05 service.....It has been a good service, the preaching isn't always as deep as I like it or the doctrine might be a little soft, but the singing has been good. I , of course, miss our church very much. Tell everyone there I said hi."
