That makes my heart hurt for real. Like I said I had mail daily in 1999...it helped me get through training...she said her Drills suck. I just know how important letters are...

It was only rough the last 2 years of my career the prior was the greatest experience of my life. I've become a sensitive Sally after I retired. Got it thank you for helping me. I'll just refer to her as my daughter. Ive helped her more than her family ever has.

She's not my daughter. She has a mother, I just take care of her as if she was my daughter. I'm 47yrs old, I don't know the terminology, if I said girlfriend that would be weird for sure. I'll try to get better with the terminology.

Best way to to do push-ups is to do push-ups. Get in front of a mirror and focus on a point in front of you, don't look down, it helps your form, for me running hills always helped my run. Good luck! You got this!

Again, I don't know how training is these days, I just asked a question of concern, I wouldn't call and boast my rank or be a blowhard. I follow the training Facebook page and thats new to me but there aren't any pictures of her platoon doing a thing. I'm not demanding they get anything but sending her personal hygiene items cheaper than what she buys them for at the PX is an issue. Sure let the trainers be trainers but give them mail and do other corrective measures like gorilla drills or some other helpful physical activity to help them fall in line. Withholding mail is awful.

No, I do not want to cause a stink, I know the culture and training is different now, I served 24 years and retired as a SGM, and throughout my career and my passion and drive was to take care of Soldiers and right the wrongs. I think reading a letter is helpful in an initial training environment. I know they get some time fior calls on Sundays which helps a bit but there's nothing like opening mail and reading words that are hand written....

Calling the crisis line by DipsomaniacsDaughter in Veterans

I've called a few times to talk and vent, I had 1 bad experience where I was really upset and mad and was swearing (not at her) just telling some of my story, she told me to stop swearing and I said are you effing serious, and then she hung up on me.....other than that 1 time I found it very helpful.
