13/330 got calls out!!! Omg! He cried the whole time and it was sooooo hard to let him go. He said he's got the exercise thing down and that he's doing well. Said he's doing well academically. He said he's distraught from being away from me but that he's actually enjoying what they are doing, otherwise. He's lost a few pounds despite eating well. Just wanted to make sure everything here was ok. More worried about us than anything. He is a really sensitive guy and this was really emotional for both of us. I told him to focus on what they are doing because he needs to be uber prepped for BS-21 in 4 weeks. He said they have weapons next week and he was all kinds of excited for that since he's a weapons enthusiast. He's tired of and irritated with "kids" screwing off not doing what they are told. A few almost cost the div the call today and we only had a few minutes instead of what we were supposed to get. Makes me wish that the whole division could beat the crap outta of the lil sh*ts, they wouldn't screw up after that. But we relished the 10 minutes we had. It was the best 10 minutes of my life, next to our wedding ceremony! lol. I'm still teary. Next call in few weeks he said. I didn't even get a chance to ask any of the questions I had written down,lol! Dammit! Oh well, another big letter will go out tonight for tomorrows mail. I'm glad he's ok and that is all I needed to know. Now...I get to go through withdrawal all over again...this is going to be a long rough night. Bittersweet.
Congrats on the rest of yall hearing from your SR's!!!!

Tiffany called!!!! at 3:15 central time. She was crying when I answered, kept telling her it's ok... how are... tears...fine...tears... are you having fun...tear...yes.. then finally got her to calm down a bit. Said it's hard, she still hasn't passed the run or crunches, but is getting help. She passed the academic test. Said lots to do and learn. It was really REALLY hard to understand her, between my cell phone and I guess her payphone. I was sitting on my bus waiting for the next round of kids and picked it up and said TIFFY...OH MY GOSH.. told her I was making my reservations and that made her cry again :( so asked her how the food was, she said good and said she eats a lot. Said she really doesn't know anyone, they really don't get time to talk. Asked if they were mean, she said not to her, because she keeps quiet, but it's ok.
