Wow…What a crazy day it’s been. Well, we started the morning with a PT Session. We did our initial PT Test a few days ago; and based on that, they broke us down into 4 run groups. “Aâ€

Good Read....my (as well as his) "Gas Chamber Experience" was classic.....and I got my first really good taste o' gas on that day (funny looking back on it).....he sounds like he's in good hands......and I would not even begin to worry Mom.

My son got pneumonia during Basic and was in the hosptial for a couple days. The one thing that motivated him to get better and push himself to get up to speed again - in order to not have to recycle - was that Gas Chamber experience :) He'd do anything to avoid having to repeat that!
Glad to know your son's doing well. The inter-platoon rivalries are great :)

I loved the Gas Chamber....wish I had one in my back yard. Snot neckties, burning sensation.....very cool. I need to get some CS, anyone have any....want to throw it in the SPCA here in town. Cats and dogs REALLY love that shit.

Alot of kids woulda fallen out on a run like that. It sounds to me like he has heart and actually gains strength by watching the others fall out

It's all good.
Great letter Kelli, be sure you save all the letters you get from your son. My Mother did and gave them to me years later. They are priceless to me...my 'gas chamber' letter was hilarious. 
it's funny to hear the words' total control'...again :D
