He's Still Alive!

Dustin left for Army basic training on the 19th. He has been allowed to call once and it was abot a 30 second phone call to say he arrived and was still alive. I thought that was awfully generous of them :) We got our first "letter" from him today. It was a pre-typed letter where he filled in the blanks. Got to love the army! I have to say it was more than we were expecting so soon. I love how they put in big bold letters "Do Not Send Packages" They have regulations against having food, candy and "other contraband" in the barraacks. He was exhausted when he called. He had only had 2 hours of sleep due to being punished from others not listening. Some things never change! In the letter they gave a url we can go to to follow is progress and find information. It is http://www.wood.army.mil/2-10in?D_Company.html
Here is his mailing address and the specific instructions they gave along with it. The front of the envelope is the usual address information:

PVT Dustin Forbes
D CO 2-10 IN 2nd PLT
495 Iowa Ave. Unit 42
Fort Leonard Wood, MO 65473

On the back center of the envelope it has to have:

2nd PLT
WOLVERINES

He would love to get letters I'm sure. And just to warn you, he is not sure when he will get to write you back. He won't have time to read long letters either. And I heard from other people that they read everything before giving them to who it actually is addressed to! Just keep him in your prayers please :)
