Got promoted and found myself a girl!
Hey, thought i'd send this message off prior to our final Phase I training exercise on Piranha. My squad is doing pretty good right now, we've climbed to the top of the company "leaderboards" in the VR and PT standings. BEVAD/SEAL school seems like preschool compared to our ODST training, probably because these are hardcore Marine SNCO's, and not some squids (no offense dad XD). Before even touching one of the new Mark VI SOEIV's, the instructors have made us start our Airborne parachute training, a bit of an antiquated insertion method. Also a few promotions came my way, Cpl. Sutherland billeted me from a fire team leader to his Platoon Sergeant a couple weeks ago, I rated in OSWC occupational codes as a Scout Pioneer Commando, what i've heard is one of the most coveted positions in the 'Corps. Oh yeah, and I got a pay raise as well! Lance Corporal (E-3)!
And if you've read the subject, I have found myself a nice local girl who finds me pretty interesting. We've been dating for the past three months or so, and I finally met her parents on my last liberty a week ago. A nice bunch, her dad is the counties' regimental commander and her mom is a Navy nurse. But enough about those old people, and more about her! Well, her name is Jennifer Ackerson, she's 19 and works for the local government, somewhat short brunette hair, Great T&A, and the most beautiful green eyes i've ever seen. Once I get done with training in mid-March, i'll have to come out to Reach, Caprica, or wherever you are in the colonies so we can have a meal. 
Forgot to add that mom mentioned that you two have been talking quite a lot lately (since she learned of that ban on communiques in the outer colonies). Kinda surprised that you never told me that you had a bit of leave (an entire month, eh?) in September, took mom back to Earth. Hopefully the Covenant will stop poking us in the outer colonies for us to get a bit more leave and meet up once again.
Well, i've got to go soon, we're prepping for our survival expedition in the Thermopylae Mountains on Piran.......

"Covenant Attack"
Sorry that the message was full of errors when I sent it. General Quarters were sounded right when I was attempting to write this letter. 
The Prowler Argonaut forgot to enact the Cole Protocol before being captured by a Covenant flotilla right outside of the 349 Picó System in Sector 20. The Tawan Fleet made an emergency reinforcement of Tau'ri and we were put on high alert for two days straight. Scuttlebutt says that the Prowler launched something out of it's nuclear missile silos prior to crash landing on one of the moons of Tau'ri. Thankfully and somehow...the Imperial Navy didn't think one of the most technologically advanced warships in the entire fleet was a good target to track. Too bad I couldn't have been on the boarding party, heard some of the 3rd OSWA Battalion asswipes were in-transit from Reach when it happened and they got a chance to take it back. 
Oh well, no fun for us, though at least I get to finish out this letter on a good note. 
Have a good one dad! Love you!
Sincerely,
LANCE Corporal James Sawyer
