I got all call from my son to. It was so great to hear his voice. 41 minutes. I agree Mary it was the best call. He sounds great and has decided not to take his leave after PIR. He does not want to be in the hole the 5 days. I can handle that. The unknown is no longer unknown. Yay!!!

Can anyone answer this question? It's sort of confusing, and I apologize if my wording is weird. But, I'm wondering- what will recruits do if they take only 5 days leave instead of the whole 10 days so they are not in the hole? Do they have to go straight to A school, or can they take those 5 days as Liberty, so that they can still spend time with family, but just return to the base every night?
I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is only taking 5 days, but I'm going to be there till January 2nd because I thought that that was how long he had a break, whether it be leave or liberty. Does anyone know? It's so confusing!
