This crew should be in week 6 and still going strong. It should be exciting for them as well as challenging. Their letters will most likely concerns some parents but rest assured, safety is number one. The should be learning about shipboard fire-fighting, damage control and any other subject dealing with saving a ship. Then there is the gas chamber. It's a modified, diluted version of the real thing but it gives them a sense of what the real stuff is like. Besides, it really clears up the sinus tract. Being a former Army Drill Sergeant (Infantry) this is the most "unflattering" part of training. No one wants to be seen "crying with snot running uncontrolably down their face". Keep those cards and letters going to your sailor. They determine how well they will do in boot. Few letters means little family support. Even if you "have nothing to wirte about", just say HI or send some news clippings. ANY MAIL IS BETTER THAN NO MAIL.
