Lazy Platoon

Ben is now CLS (combat life saver) certified after he gave & received an IV and pass a written test. They needed to do that to graduate. He said the IV experience was not as bad as he thought - he just closed his eyes. It's amazing what you could accomplish thing you didn't think you could do as a civilian (or even want to try)!
They've been receiving mail starting July 6, so the morale seemed better. But they inspect the content of every letter & have to do 25 push-ups for every letter they receive. But it's all worth it.
He is complaining that his platoon has bunch of stuck-up high school graduate that don't like to take orders. They are selfish & lazy and is keeping the whole platoon in the Red phase forever!
When you write, he would love to hear about your civilian life, and he says he'll tell you about things that explode and immature kids and 'unfortunately they don't really add up to exploding immature kids'!(ha, ha) His mailing address was posted on July 3. Thank you!
