Giampiero was still in "reception" when he wrote this letter. That's where they give them haircuts, issue uniforms, finish processing, do more tests, etc. The highlights of the letter were the BCG's or Birth Control Glasses that the soldiers are issued. They are huge and have hideously thick frames. They are already running drills. They are rushed to eat. They were told that the only way out is to graduate because the paperwork to get kicked out takes 6 months to process. All communication will be standard sized letters and once in a while he will be able to call home. I look forward to those calls! There is no set date for graduation because if he gets sick or injured, or if the unit does not keep up with schedule, there could be delays.
I think he is doing well. I am so proud of my soldier.
