I got a call today as well! I kinda cried like a baby towards the end, just because I'm so proud of how well he's doing. He said he's made some friends in the division and mentioned that one recruit in his division learned that he's going to be a dad and that was heart-warming to hear for all of them. His job is laundry as well!!
I told him that there's only 33 more days until PIR and he was ecstatic to hear that. To them it doesn't seem too long but to us it feels like a lifetime!
He did say he has no idea if he'll get to call again but he said it's a good possibility he won't get to. Damn. ):
Nonetheless, I'm glad to hear they're all bonding and doing well. I'm so excited for March 14th! -

Haha! My ex found out at bootcamp that I was pregnant! That was over 19 years ago, and now that child is in bootcamp. But NO girl better write him and say they are pregnant. I would kill him..lol. So my son must know your boyfriend! He said a few names but didn't catch them. It's ok to cry a little bit. You will get thru it, they will too! Just keep writing and reassuring him and tell him..head down, mouth shut, ears open! Lol.....

Hi Everyone,
We just got a phone call! I am so happy especially because I missed him last week. He said he might get to call tomorrow as well. He sounded happy. He said it was hard but he has made a really great friend who has helped him through the tough times. He has only received 3 letters...I have sent a bunch. The mail must be slow. He is so excited that we are going to be there for graduation. It is a happy day!

Has had a cold and hoarse voice but still sounded good. Said he had time to write today.
He said the mornings are tough and the days are long. Food is good.

Sounds about what I heard too pine view!! He said he can call tomorrow, but he is going to call his dad! Kinda sad, but I know. Have to share! My mom works for the post office and the reason it's taking so long is for a few reasons. 1) the weather has delayed a lot of mail from getting their on regular schedule time. 2) they are very short staffed at every post office becuz of budget cuts, so less carriers means longer time to get mail becuz they don't have "relievers" to come help finish a route. Hope that helps! But keep writing!
