Monday, October 2
Spent the day touring around Safti MI..
Don brought us around this hotellic-filled aura compound..
Sure sounds nothing like the hellish days of ancient military life..
Nonetheless, I sensed a hint of uncertainty and loneliness in him,
Or even the vexation of what's next on the training list..
Perhaps in a stint of not wanting mommy and daddy to worry,
He shared with us reservedly, halteringly that everything was fine..
The mental turmoil of venturing into the unknown is never comfortable no matter how you say it is..

As the shuttle bus drove out of the compound..
Don messaged me..
"So nice to see all of you..Ill train hard..tell mom n dad not to worry.."
