I guess for the past week and change that he has been in Reception, he has been bored out of his skull. As the Burrow's put it, "The Army is a lot of hurry up and wait."
Seth said that he WAS able to go to church on Sunday, so that's good at least. He doesn't know if he'll be able to go during the first few weeks of Boot, but we shall see.
As to what tomorrow holds for him, "The first two days are the hardest. They're essentially going to try to kill us." Apparently, rumor has it that they are going to keep him up for 48 straight hours, in an attempt to see who's weak (mentally and physically), who can/will take orders, who will possibly make a good leader later and so on.
I told him to sleep well tonight, since he's sure going to need his energy tomorrow!
As soon as he's able to write, I'll post whatever updates I get from him. In the mean time, I'll probably continue to post updates from Jim Burrow, since Jim has the inside track about what Seth's going to be doing...
And to keep with the theme of the last post, here's some food for thought...
"It's a strange thing, you have said it a thousand times I am sure...you will never know what you can do until you try. However, the sad truth is that most people never try anything until they know they can do it."
