- This is Jamie's letter to his mom two days after arrival at Buckner. He is (understandably) terrified.
- He admits he's weaker than everyone else, both physically and mentally.
- He also admits he was scared to get up and go to the bathroom because of Staff Sergeant Rebillard, the guy on duty, who poked him in the Adam's apple six times in two days.
- And so he wet the bed. Bummer.
- He begs to come home, saying he'll never smoke pot or screw up again.
- Then he says there's no way he's going to send the letter; it will stay in his notebook forever.
