I missed the call from my SR on Sat. Heard the voicemail - doing fine. But today I checked my cell about something and saw that he had also tried THAT number and I STILL missed it! How bad is that! Now I remember WHY I hate Boot camp so much. Can't wait til there's REGULAR communication.

YEAH!!! Got our first letter from our recruit! He is excited about 9mm pistol training..of course. And the food is "actually pretty good". Anytime he can get a Taco Salad he's happy.
But hearing how our letters are welcome, wanted but always bring tears has me ambivalent about all the letters. Oh, I'll keep writing, but he wrote that he'll have "a fountain of tears" at PIR. I CAN'T WAIT!

Richard is not very outgoing... I fear he is a sort of loner. But maybe this situation is helping to change that. He's actually Div 213, but I know the guys all room together.

Where will Richard go to A school?

Charlotteh- I am sorry for the delay, but we've been on vacation for 3 weeks...
Richard is a CS (culinary specialist) rating.That means school will be in Virginia.

with Battlestations probably tonight, guess we would have heard if our Recruit hadn't passed ALL tests, don't you think???

Unless some are passing final tests TODAY, I'd agree with you. Also it is possible (not likely as far as I have seen) that a few may not pass BS. We all must wait til they call, I guess.
