DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Yeah. I got my first letter this past Thursday so I guess Thursday I will be looking for my next letter. I hope he calls. I am going to be really depressed if he doesn't, I am not going to lie. I was really looking forward to hearing from him. He called last Sunday (19th) and said I should be allowed to call next week so stay by the phone. Well I am waiting. If not this week maybe next and if anything the 6th week they should be allowed to call at least I hope. Dying to hear his voice.

Got the questionnaire back today. Folding is kicking his butt, they are getting lots of IT because they aren't working as a group, their RDC isn't a yeller, making their team flag on Monday, didn't pass PFA because of run, has made a bunch of friends, no bunkmates, eats 3x a day, but the food is watery, likes dinner since tall guys go first, wakes up at 4 even when he doesn't have to, peanut butter shot hurt for three days, got two days in sick quarters for wisdom teeth out, no blisters, and studying is easy. He's made quite a few friends that are "awesome and very supportive".

Thats good. Happy he is doing good. Did you get a call today? I did. He talked to me for about 25mins and then called his Mom and then his Dad. So I guess they did something right... He said that the RDC is nice.

Yes, he called and we spoke for about 25 minutes, it was wonderful, but the time seemed to go really quick. The connection was so much better than the first time. Said they had a 28 mile run the other day. I'll have to keep a running list of questions close by. Oh he did say they got the scholastic flag, I guess they did really well on their first exam.

Hey guys!! I got an hour and a half phone call with my fiancee.. best half and hour ive ever had!! he got medical discharge, best one available, he can re-inlist in 6-12 months, will look really good for apps, and college apps. We are very positive about things, he will be home middle of the week. He knows I talk to you all, and he asks everytime how his division is doing.. so if you guys don't mind.. he and I are going to follow you through till the end!! He loved his division and the RTW's.. so.. we are gonna hang in there with you guys! I think it'll help him with some coping issues as well..

Got a letter today. He mentioned they are doing Marlinspike this week. His A school is full, so he will be on hold for a month. Sounds like his temper got the best of him yesterday, oops, but hopefully that won't happen again. Somebody just came back from medical and had pink eye. Otherwise, everything is going well.
Iowa, let me know when you finace is back, it would be cool if he knew my son. -
