From Hanny 7-23-09

Dear, Dear Amy,
How I miss you so much!!! Our whole flight is up since 2:00am. We are going to work in the dining facility to clean the silverware, dishes, clear tables off all day long and won't be back until 20:00. But we do enjoy longer meals and longer breaks.
This week I learned Self Aid Buddy Care (S.A.B.C). When someone gets hurt, I know what to do: if he has a broken limb or a wound anywhere on the body. We have with us when we get deployed an Individual First Aid Kit containing first aid stuff. I am not a pro yet, but I feel confident when I have to help someone who gets hurt in the field. I will know how to give him the care he needs to stay alive.
3rd Week is almost over. I got my name tags for my uniform. My last name was spelled correctly and it will be sewn by early next week. I felt joy & pride when I saw my name tag. I will get my blues(dress uniform) as well sometime next week; I will not wear them until the 7th week of training. Having that name tag will be better so we will not be tagged as Zero Weekers anymore-we will have a little respect. Our T.I. doesn't yell at us as much now unless we don't do our job.
During P.T., Trainee Canfield had to go poopoo bad. We were doing push ups then rolled to do sit ups and then he couldn't hold it anymore; he stood up and went to the T.I. and said, "Sir, Trainee Canfield reports as ordered, I have to shiet NOW". T.I. responds, "Get the f... away!" Canfield ran toward the honey bucket with his butt cheeks so tight together, it was a funny scene when he ran away. Back in the dorm, we all laughed so hard after he told us his side of the story. (He did not poop his pants.)
I hope you are ok! I was thinking if bringing the kids to graduation will be too much money. You wrote earlier that it would cost $2000. I just want to make sure we don't go into debt. Don't get me wrong. I want to see you all, to hug you, to kiss you after graduation. I just don't know where we are getting that kind of money. Please let me know, I trust you to handle the affairs of the Tauraa family. I do pray for you, I think about you (especially when I can make love to you again). You are so sweet in your letters and they make me happy. Remind the kids that I do LOVE them like crazy. I want to spoon with you, give you a massage, be with you laughing, crying, cooking together, cleaning, playing. I want to go on dates. Being away from you makes me realize how precious you are to me. You know me better than anyone else, you know how to comfort me, to talk to me, to calm me. You know how to be kind to me. I MISS you a lot. But until we meet again, I will pray for you, I will think about you, I will love you FOREVER. I am yours for eternity. Like you wrote earlier, it will not be heaven if you are not by my side. Be safe, bye. I'll see you soon.
Abracadabra,
Hanny
