Yay! Flight news!

I got two letters from John today, which makes up for that fact that I didn't get any yesterday.  They had great news in them!  I now know John's flight schedule.  He gets in next Wednesday at 10:33.  I think he gets in at night, because he said he leaves the base at 1:00, and I doubt that they would be leaving at 1 in the morning.  It is the military, though, so I'll double check.  You never know.  I'm so excited, and so is John.  I think the fact that they have so many people in their platoon that don't want to do what they have to do is starting to really get to him.  I know it's frustrating to be continually getting punished when you're doing the right thing all the time, but that's the way the Army works.  I guess that's the whole point.  You just have to get used to it. 
He did the gas chamber last week.  Ick.  He said it was "hellish, but it was an experience."  I guess that means he's glad he did it, but he's also glad it's behind him.  I would be, too.  He seemed a little bummed that he doesn't get his letters as regularly as he would like.  I send them everyday, but I guess that doesn't mean he gets them everyday.  Well, that's pretty much it as for as news from John goes.
We had a nasty storm here in Omaha.  I spent an hour scraping an inch-thick sheet of ice off of my car this morning.  It was not fun.  If you live here and you've yet to go outside, don't bother.  It isn't worth it. 
Love,
