Thanks so much Kathy.

The twin that is home said something to me charlie that I think you can relate to. He said that it was not just a violation of his trust but also of the recruit. They too have a relationship that allows them to share everything. Now do I tell the recruit? He's having a rough time (hopefully this phase of boot camp will be over soon) and I do not want to give him the further worry that he cannot share with his twin the things he needs to. I will never do this again, I will ask to read the letters but respect my son's decision either way.

I just cannot wait until the end of October when this will all be over.
