Emma seems to be doing really well in Basic Training. She's almost done with her first month. Her letters are really interesting and descriptive regarding her activities. She made me laugh saying that she never thought that she would think of yoghurt, cough drops and granola bars as 'junk food', lol. She says that they get hot 'A' rations for most meals. It might vary on the weekends but the routine is pretty much the same.
Aside from having to get busted for stuff other soldiers have done, she is really liking the Army. They won a pugil fighting competition and earned a phone call and will have a streamer to put on their company banner that they will carry at graduation.
I cannot wait to see her!!

I'm glad to hear she is doing so well. Love the pic of Pops up there, he's looking rather dapper.
Abby posts on FFSI and has purchased stuff from Jenna. She started the steals and deals blog with her sister, Mandy. She has some great deals posted on there! Check her out!
Glad she is doing well there. I think it's not so bad, if one goes in with the right attitude and expectations. You just gotta know it's going to suck before you get there, lol.
Cool caterpillar. We have those type of moths, never seen the 'pillar it comes from before, though. We call the larger ones "hummingbird" moths... they're about the same size (actually... the moths are probably bigger than hummers!) and act the same way, flight wise. Interesting critters.
