I think they can get privliges if they do something really good, such as win a flag, or do great on a test. At least some RDCs have done that (i'm hearing). It really depends on the RDC...potentially, you COULD get a phone call at any time...or not at all. I need to say something...I've been reading, and you could have a really great SR that does everything by the book and scores 100% on all of his tests and he may still NOT get to make a phone call.
I definitely feel like I was meant to meet her :-)
Such a wonderful experience for you both today, Lala. You were right where the Lord wanted you to be to help her. So great.
I was walking out of the hotel early this morning while my family was sleeping and a woman was struggling with two suitcases. I helped out to her car and saw an Army mom decal on her window. I asked about her soldier and she started to cry. She came in yesterday to welcome him home from Afghanistan. He has only been in a year and has already been there for just shy of 7 months and just got back yesterday. She wanted to spend more time with him but has to go back to work so she had to leave today. My heart was breaking for her. We talked for almost an hour and I told her all about this website even though there are very few Army Moms here that doesn't really matter. We all know what it is like to have a loved one in the military and be missing them. The one thing she said that all of us here can relate to is her family just doesn't understand what she is feeling and why it is so hard for her. They think she should be stronger. He is her only child and she is a single mom. She seemed so much better after talking to me/someone who understands what she is going through and is willing to listen to her. I'm not sure how long her son will be back at FT Bragg. He got married right before basic training and his wife, whom he has barely even lived with is 7 months pregnant. This moms name is Carrie, so please keep her and her soldier, his wife and baby in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much
I am so sorry Lisa, I really wish you could send it to him and he would still stay under the radar ;-(
I have to agree with Lala, Lisa. Glad you won't do it. Could be disastrous!
Good Morning all. Hope you have a great weekend!
not going to just would have loved to hear his voice
