When Peter first told me that he was going to join the Air Force it kind of freaked me out. I had this underlining fear that BMT would change him. That he wouldn't be the man I fell in love with. I learned through several resources very quickly that after BMT they're the same guys. It's still them, just a more disciplined version.
I knew early on that that was something that I didn't need to fear. But it was still something that was in the very back of my mind leading up to him leaving and then going to see him at the end of BMT. I thought, as intense as the training in the last 8 1/2 weeks were what effect did that have on him. You don't come out of an experience like that not changed.
When I finally did see him and get to spend some time with him, it was easy to see that he was Peter. It was totally him (with the addition of him now eating hamburgers). He told me, that the way they explained it to them was that, they took who they were and refined all the best parts. And as I get spend more time with him (on the phone) I am seeing how true that it. I get to see all the improvements to who he is. He is still totally 100% Peter...but he's a better Peter.
