Belatedly - or is it still Christmas back in the States? The Army does what it can to make us the holiday good for us. A big meal, some entertainment and just some down time. I was glad to see your email when I finally logged on. Don't feel like you have to hold back writing about home. This is my second deployment and I know that homesickness is part of it all. You learn to deal with it. It's actually awesome to hear about normal life back home, it helps keep things in focus here. Short version: I want to hear all about what you're up to. Or at least what you're willing to share. What's a typical Jim McGrath day? What do your brothers do? Your family seems real close. That's great. All right, I'll keep this brief. Cpl. Kowalski's breathing down my neck waiting for his turn at this dusty computer. It'll probably be a couple of weeks until I log on again. But I'll be thinking of home. Sean email 1/3/2006 Dear Sergeant Major Carter, Happy 2006! I know you said you'd be away from the computer, so I've been slow in replying, but I wanted to write so you'd have an email waiting for you. School starts up next week and I'm already back on campus. My good buddy Holt and his friend Rich invited me up to New York for New Year's. It was a blast! You would have hated it, though... too fucking cold! We didn't bother standing out at Times Square but found a bar to hang out in by midnight. I don't think I'm a city boy at heart but it was sure as hell fun to visit. I like being around campus before everyone gets back. I spend a couple hours a day in the gym. Coach says I should put on 5 pounds spring this year before the draft, so I've been hitting the weights harder these days. Otherwise I get to be lazy. Mostly renting DVDs, dumb comedy and action stuff. Yeah, my family's pretty close. Though my oldest brother John's always marched to a different drummer. He went though a rebellious phase in high school and ended up going to school up North. But he's settled down now, has a good job, is kind of suburban and boring even! He lives up near Chicago now, with his wife Kate, and we see them once a year at Christmas. Next is Paul, who's a police officer in the St. Louis area. He and his wife Jess are going to have a baby and everyone's excited. My brother Matt's in the Navy and just been deployed to the Middle East. I'm the youngest in the family. Peace be with you, sir. I am not the most religious guy, I suppose, but I'm praying for your safety and rooting for your success and for those in your unit. Jim email 1/15/2006 Jim, It's been a shitty week, so what a nice surprise to see your email in my inbox. I hate the cold all right, but I would have sucked it up for a chance to have some fun in NYC with you, buddy. I gotta warn you, I can probably drink you and your friends under a table! At this moment, to be honest, watching dumb comedies and action films also sounds like a friggin blast. Sounds like you're a dedicated athlete. Draft? Shit, you're gonna be famous aren't ya, Jim? You're not a city guy, huh? I like them, though I like to get out in nature, too. Things should be quiet for the time being here. Write soon, if you can. your friend, Sean email 1/16/2006 Sergeant Major Carter, Would have loved to have you at New Year's. You sure made Army-Navy weekend a great one. Hope you don't mind my saying that? I don't want to take that bet about who can drink who under the table. I turned 21 last spring and while I like to party as much as the next guy I can still be a lightweight, at least compared to my buddies. They all say I'm too serious, but between baseball and school I gotta stay focused, you know? I don't know about famous, but yeah, I'm hoping to go pro. Though pro means paying dues in the minors for chicken feed. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to play ball. My uncle was a professional player and I always wanted to follow in his footsteps. I think the idea that it might actually happen has made me want it more. I grew up in Norfolk, which I guess is a city but doesn't feel like one. I like to have neighbors I know and a yard and fresh air. I love nature, too, though I think I'd miss being around people. You an active guy? Hike? Swim? I'll let you know if I watch any good-bad movies. Start a Jim Recommends column, ha. Quiet is good, though I hope you don't get bored. your friend, Jim email 1/17/2006 Jim, Your emails keep me from being bored. You got a dry sense of humor, I love it. We Army guys can have some hard drinking ways. Comes with the territory, particularly when we get a chance to get some down time in a place with alcohol available. Glad to hear you have a head on your shoulders. It's good to have fun, particularly in college, but the other stuff is important, too. Seems like you have your priorities straight. I'm impressed with your baseball dedication. I have every bit of confidence in you. I'm with you that I don't want to live in the middle of nowhere, but I love the outdoors and love outdoor sports. I hike and camp and do mountain climbing, too. I have a buddy out in Seattle and I love it there. Mountains so close and a real outdoors culture. I can see moving there one day. I like swimming but that's just recreation for me... you know, time up at the lake or the beach. I'll await your movie recommendations. Give me something to binge when I get back to the US of A. your friend, Sean p.s. Don't worry if it's a while before I answer these emails. email 1/17/2006 Sergeant Major Carter, Don't worry. I'm always glad to see an email from you, sir, but never expect one. I know you have more important things occupying your days. School's already kicking my ass. I thought my last semester would be easier but I know studying will get harder once baseball season starts up so I'm trying to get on top of my work now. Still, it's fun to hang out on the weekend. I'm sharing a house with a junior on the team, Kyle, and we hang out a lot. He's real social and gets me out of my shell some. He always knows where the parties are. My buddy Josiah is on the football team, so occasionally I hang out with those guys, too. But at UVA football and baseball jocks are different breeds, it's not too different from Army and Navy men! I've never been to Seattle. I bet it's awesome. Going to New York made me realize I'd like to see more of the world. We had a couple of family vacations to Florida growing up, or to Hilton Head. But I've barely been outside the area. Take care, sir. your friend, Jim email 2/10/2006 Jim, Apologies for taking so long to reply. I had a feeling our offensive would keep me offline. I can't say much, only that it's been a tough few weeks. On the upside I've earned an R&R pass for a couple of days next week. If you're up for it, I'd love to call you some time then, talk in person. If you're rather not, I understand. I know what you mean about wanting to see more of the world. That's one of the things that made me enlist. I don't know that this corner of Iraq was what I had in mind, ha. But I've seen some amazing places, often on R&R. There's a Greek island that's my personal paradise. I feel there's a lot I don't know about you. Are your parents still together? Did you spend your entire childhood in Norfolk? You have a pet? Where do you ideally see yourself ending up? If I'm being nosy you can tell me to shove it. your friend, Sean email 2/11/2006 Sergeant Major Carter, I'd love to talk, sir! My number is 434-964-1838. I'm in class all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and usually at the gym or at practice in the late afternoon otherwise. My mom passed away from cancer when I was young, so it's just been us men in the McGrath family. I was born in San Diego and lived there for a few years but I don't remember much of it. The rest of my formative years were in Virginia. We had a dog growing up, a beautiful collie, but she died when I was in high school. I'd love to have a dog again some day but now's not the time. Too much up in the air. I don't know where I'd want to live. I guess anywhere there's a baseball team that lets me play for them. But I haven't seen the world like you, sir. Your Greek island sounds mighty nice. your friend, Jim phone call 2/16/2006 JIM: Hello? SEAN: Jim? JIM: Sean? Good to hear from you sir! SEAN: Great to hear your voice, too, Jim. This isn't a bad time to call? JIM: No sir, just got back from a run and am about to do some homework. What time is there? SEAN: About 10PM. We're eight hours ahead. JIM: You enjoying your pass? SEAN: A private room, a real shower, fuck yeah I'm enjoying it. Great to be able to talk to you, too. I don't have a lot of time on the phone card but wanted to check in. JIM: You doing OK, sir? SEAN: Yeah, it's been tough time, lost two of my men. But I'm OK, Jim. JIM: Sorry to hear, sir, but I'm glad you're OK. I, um, think about you a lot. SEAN: I think about you too, College Boy. Tell me you're having fun. JIM: I'm having fun, sir. SEAN: Hopefully not too much fun. JIM: (Laughs) No, sir. SEAN: Fuck, you got a sexy laugh, Jim. You know what I'd do if you were here? JIM: (quieter) No, sir. What? SEAN: I'd unzip my trousers and pull out my hard cock... You're making it real hard, Jim. JIM: Yeah? SEAN: Yessir, you're making me hard as iron, with your blue eyes and your short blond hair and the way you strut in like the hot college jock you are. JIM: I remember your cock, sir. SEAN: I fucking bet you do. I wish you were here, College Boy, watching me spread my legs. I'd ask you to get right down there and suck on my dick. JIM: Gladly, Sean. Fuck. SEAN: Yeah, 'fuck' is right. Nice hot jock cocksucker. Think you can do that, Jim? Be my hot jock cocksucker? JIM: I'd be your cocksucker, sir. We didn't do that last time. SEAN: No, we didn't. But I bet you're real good at it, College Boy. Really good at taking care of a man's cock with your hot sucking mouth. JIM: I don't like to brag, sir, but I'm real good at it. You'd see, Sean. SEAN: (exhales) Fuck! I got my hand on my bone, stroking up and down, and just imagining it was you, stud. Bitching out on my bone. JIM: Bobbing up and down. Working for my reward. SEAN: You're gonna get it too. My nuts are feeling heavy, they're so backed up. JIM: Cum in me, sir. Come down my cocksucking throat. SEAN: Oh, fuck I'm gonna, Jim. I'm gonna come, gonna FUCK UMFF! JIM: UNGH! SEAN: Oh fuck, oh Christ, that was good. Fucking needed that Jim. JIM: Me, too, sir. SEAN: I'd love you to see the amount of cum I just shot on my chest and stomach. JIM: I'd love for me to see it too. SEAN: I'm definitely gonna sleep like a baby tonight. Thanks, College Boy. JIM: You're welcome. That was... hot. SEAN: It was. I gotta go soon. But you're doing OK? JIM: Doing fine, sir. SEAN: You gonna keep writing me? JIM: Of course, I will. SEAN: Good. All right. It was great talking with you Jim. Good night. JIM: Good night, sir.
