bev...I didn't realize that you were around that long. sweet deal.
when do you leave for basic? my friend just sent my pics from baghdad international, where she's stationed. Apparently it's hot as hell, but they just built a swimming pool to cool off. She's the only girl in her platoon/division/troop/pack whatever they call it, but they accomodate her quite well.
I respect her so much, as I do with all current and former servicemen/women.
good luck
