So after talking to Bryan last night I was really worried about him. My dad suggest I send him a quick email telling him to ask for a blessing. The following are bits and pieces from his email today.
That's a good idea (the blessing). I'll try to do that. Unfortunately, the other LDS guy in my class is quarantined (flu-like symptoms) right now, but maybe tomorrow. I'm doing better today, after my talk with you. I'm sorry I sounded so down and miserable yesterday. I know the purpose of the program is to break you, so that they can remake you into the kind of officer the Navy needs. Through all of this, the one thing I have decided to focus on is that I know I'm supposed to be here right now. I wasn't meant to wait until November, or January, but right now. So that means I am going to work my hardest, give it 110% every day, whether it is classroom work or physical training. I'm going to push myself until I fail, then do it again and see if I can go a little further. I've also decided to change my attitude about the whole thing. I remember when I was on my mission I reached a point where I started to just go through the motions. I realized that I was miserable operating like that, so I just decided that when I woke up the next morning, I was going to be excited and have energy to face the day. I'm going to do that here. I'm going to be excited to PT because I know it will make me stronger. .....I guess I'll be able to call and email on Sundays and holidays (I didn't call today because I'm trying to get ready for the RLP inspection in a week and a half). ..... And keep those letters coming, I love getting mail. Oh, I received a letter from the Tiltons! Anyway, just thought I'd give you a heads up. The weather here is getting pretty crisp (which isn't necessarily bad, because now there is one sand pit that we won't get thrown into...they throw officer candidates in there and hose them down with a fire hose in the summer). We had 2 more people get quarantined today because of illness (one of those went to the hospital). It's crazy how fast this thing (whatever it is) is spreading. Anyway, I should go, but I love you so very much! Tell everyone hi for me!
I am married to one of the most amazing men out there. Thank you everyone for sending your love and support to Bryan.
