I received two letters from my Daughter in the same envelope, one dated 9/26 and the other 9/30.
She said she was picked for either A div.or H? not sure what either are.
I sent her some writing material with stamps. I hope she gets it soon.

We had our phone call 1700hrs last night from Nick. Very fast as he had to go to stand watch (2min. max) sounded good but extremly homesick. Ask all Moms and family to keep the prayers and letters coming.

Got my first call last night. Of all times my SRs twin and I were standing in line in the freezing cold for a concert in St. Louis, MO. But we got to talk quite a while, maybe 20 mins or so. She was crying and saying how much she hated it and wanted to come home. She will not be performing even though she's in the 952 div because she was put in there just because they need some more people in there and thats why they were a week ahead of her and everyone had already tried out so she didn't get to. She has recieved only 1 of our letters and both her sister and I have written several times. I was crying. People in line were staring like something stupid. It turned out the girl right behind us was in the National Guard and she said she we should try to keep her in because she will be happy when she makes it. Said she was unhhappy at basic too, but after that it all got better, which is basically what I told my daughter. She quit crying during the call but started again when we had to hang up, thats when I started.

She did say that she has made friends with a few other girls and a couple of them are also going to SA for MA training so they are hoping that they all get to go together.

I hope I receive another phone call soon. Haven't had one since 9/24 and it was only a minute long. I also hope he writes me again this week. How is everyone else making the time go by?
