I finally received letters from my SR. I practically ripped the mail out my dad's hands. He says he wants me to cook a huge meal for him when he gets home. He says they feed him well but they eat the same thing over and over again. Even though he wrote his letters before the New Year's, it was still nice to get more insight of what it's like out there for him and the other SR's.

We did get a call Saturday night for 7 minutes. Our SR said he couldn't call last week, got three wisdom teeth out. He did allude to some trouble in the division but nothing that wasn't handled. Not too long now.....
