March 2nd 1778

I was told that I would be in the next 100 men to learn how to drill, move around, and all that stuff needed for war. I had gone to the house when I walked in on Lewis changing. I knew something wasn't right about him. It turns out, he really is a girl. I quickly left and went without going to the bathroom. I was distracted during the whole drilling. I barely hit the target. It was a big disappointment since Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was there himself. I will never be as great of a solider as he was. He was recruited by Benjamin Franklin himself! However, I have thought through my current postition, and I decided to see why this girl is here. I will hold off on telling her secret.
