Letter from Brian dated February 20th
We also got a letter from Brian yesterday but I have been sick so I didn't get much of anything done the past two days. Brian said things were much more hectic everyday and there just isn't enough time to write. (We have been getting an average to two letters a week plus the letters he write to Lachelle and Brandon) until this week. He said they have initial drill tomorrow which is a competition they have been practicing hours each day for. They dress up with protective gear and fight with big sticks which are the pugile sticks. On Saturday they actually put them into a pit to fight he said it was pretty intense you only get to fight once but the drill instructor liked my fight so I guess we did a good job at trying to kill each other. He said he went to bed Friday night at 8 and woke up at 9:30 with his ear throbbing and was up until 12:30 or so, but then he said it let up but that both of his ears feel weird and couple of people have ear infections already. I had read that on the website before I got his letter on Wed.
Brandon got a letter last Saturday and Brian told him that because he was one of the first people to pass his swim test he had to help the others in the pool and that it wasn't fun at all helping. He didn't say why he didn't like it but Brian has always gotten swimmers ear just like his mother does! And something tells me that big bad Marines aren't offering him alcohol and peroxide to dry the water in your ears after each swim so this may be why he is having an ear ache.
He was laughing at Pop-Pop because Mom-Mom wrote him to tell him that Pop-Pop has taken half ownership of Zeke. When he went to see the Dr. the form asked him his pet's name so he wrote down Zeke! LOL Brian was cracking up and we have had a little drama here with Zeke because he got an ear infection and I forgot to call the darn vet so the next day poor Zeke came down his head was hanging side ways so of course I remembered I hadn't called the vet and Brian was like woman you have to remember to call them today! So when I wrote Brian about it I sent him a card that had a dog on it and told him I must confess your poor dog thinks that you left him and now your Mother is trying to kill me and signed it from Zeke! LOL Zeke hated the medicine and it took two of us to get it in his ear. Brian would have to sit on top of him and I would have to hold his paws but now he is much better and likes the attention! So Brian told me to keep him posted on Zeke and how he is doing because he had shown his friends some pictures I sent him of Zeke and they all think he is a furociuous dog so he said you know i had to go along with it i wouldn't tell any of them how much of a sissy he really is! LOL

finally heard from Brian again!
Heyy guys:) i have not heard from Brian in a week, and i finally got another letter. Thank god because i miss that boy like crazy everyday! He is doing great! He told me that i better tell him the sex of the baby asap and that he does not want to wait until April 15, well he is going to have to wait! lol. i think that it will be more exciting if i surprise him at his graduation rather than write it and him finding out through an mail. So if you guys find out what it is NO ONE go writing Brian and telling him haha. thank youu! My belly is getting pretty big now and i should be able to find out the sex in a few weeks looking forward to buying lots of cute baby stuff and I'm sure Mrs.Lynn is too. Hope everyone is doing well keep in touch. Love you all,

Letter from Brian dated 2/15/11
We got a letter from Brian tonight. He has a request for anyone writing him - please put the date on your letter you are sending him and if you are writing back to him put the date of his letter on it some where so he knows you got his letter as well as the date you are writing to him.
Today was training day 19 and we have swim qualifications this week. I passed it yesterday we had to swim like a total of 100 meters fully clothed and with boot then tread water for four minutes.
He had a paragraph in there to Brandon telling him that he will be writing him again and how sorry he was about Brandon's loosing his friend Andrew.

Letter from Brian dated February 12, 2011
Ok instead of bugging everyone with emails you may not want I decided to try this blog! This way if your interested in what Brian is doing or want an update you can come to this site and check it out. I think the easiest thing to do is to type what Brian has written in his letter. So I am typing this as his point of view (of course I have added in some of my own comments! lol)
Hey guys its Saturday, February 12th I just got a couple of letters from the 8th I've been getting them almost every day though so it's cool. It's really really hard to keep up with all the letter so just bare with me I reply as asap!
Today we hiked 8 kilometers with like 60 pounds on their backs plus our riffles and helmets. We also did pugle sticks which is stick fighting. I jammed my thumb really bad but I'm hiding it from drill instructors so I don't get sent to medical. (you can fall behind if you get hurt or sick etc... and not graduate with your squad)
Today we had senior drill instructor inspections which consists of like 20 DI's running into our barracks and destroying everything! LOL They flipped our racks (which is their beds) dumped all our stuff everywhere it was bad! We are on training day 17, training day 25 we take a 100 question test and start phase 2 of training (Phase 1 is just drill, physical training, martial arts & pugle sticks. Phase 2 is rifle range and alot more interesting things) 1st day of Phase 2 is Gas Chamber and rappel tower! (only my child would think this stuff is more interesting! lol)
I'm running out of time, no mail on Sundays so I will send this out on Monday. I miss you guys, love you all and I appreciate all the support and letters it helps keep me going.
I had also sent him a questionnaire for him to fill out to answer some of our questions we had (the website I get on for families of the marines gave me the idea) so here are some of the questions I asked that you may be interested in hearing the answers to.
Q. So what is the food like at boot camp? Are you eating MRE's (Mom-Mom knows about these not your mother) LOL
A. No MRE's yet! Food is like good school lunch, you get salad, jello, crackers couple of other sides to choose from plus bread and PB&J packets (which everyone lives off) I eat like 2 sandwiches per meal.
Q. What are you doing to get all of your IT's and what is an IT? (He told us in his 2 & 3rd letter about getting these - at first he just said lol but the next letter he said they said I have an attitude but I don't think I do!)
A. It is intense training they make you do all sorts of exercises and scream at you. I get IT'd less now but I was getting It'd cause they said I had an attitude.
Q. Did you make any friends?
A. Yeah I usually talk to a couple of kids I came down from MD with and a kid from Jersey.
Q. Did you get to watch the super bowl?
A. haha yeah I wish
Q. Who have you gotten letter from so far?
A. Mom-Mom & Pop-Pop, Grammy & Pappy, Gary & Tam, all you guys, Kelly, Keith S. & Pappy (Chris's Dad)(he was tellin me about when he was in boot camp)
(which for some of you he is talking about Christy Barber's Dad, Craig but he is Pappy to my kids too!)
Q. Is there anything special you want me to write to you about?
A. No keep writing them like you are I love reading them (I write him everyday because the website told me too! LOL but i just write about what is going on that day at the Logue house including updates on his DOG!! or send him a card or clippings out of the paper) Speaking of which if you want to send him a picture you can (he asked me to send him some) but a great easy way is to insert a picture on to your paper in word and that way you don't have to get an extra copy. When I read about that online I decided to start typing my letters too! Much quicker and then I can add pictures whenever right in my letter!
Q. When did you get your first letter? And from who? (They told us his mail would be delayed in the beginning so I asked him this a while back)
A. Got a couple on Feb. 3rd or 4th from Mom & Brandon(Brandon's was the 1st I read though)
(Gotta love thathe picks his brother over his mother LOL)
Lachelle got a letter as well she will be over when she gets off work tonight!
