I did get permission from the boy to post his letters, minus any personal stuff that might be in there. We have received several and I will try and remember to post them in some type of order.
July 15th, training day 17
Hey, So I don't know why I didn't mention this before, but I've got some news that will probably make mom cry tears of joy. The day before I shipped, I was told my contract got jacked up or something and I couldn't get infantry at that time. So I went open contract, being told that it was a chance I could get infantry but it was up to the Marine Corps.
My Senior Drill Instructor informed me earlier today that there is a clause in open contract that forbids infantry. So I got screwed kind of but I don't know if it's entirely a bad thing. Thanks for the letters.
There are a couple of people around here breathing a sigh of relief.
