now answers to Pvt. G. He went to Ft Benning on Oct 1. Got texts on the way there. And a 4:30 am call the next morning saying he was "moving on." Even got a bunch of texts and then a short call on Sunday. But DAMN! They wake up early! LOL
Things sure have changed. I remember waiting 4 weeks to get a chance to wait in line for one of the 4 pay phones.
BTW, I stamped and addressed 4 envelopes for him to us, put a couple sheets of paper in each and gave them to him before he left. I told him I didn't expect whole volumes but he likely wouldn't have phone privileges and we would like to here from him. He told me Sunday he already sent me 1 letter.
No, I don't expect that will stay consistent. But I REALLY appreciate it. Can't wait for the mail to actually get here!!!
I have heard thru the grapevine that we will get a 30 sec "scripted call" before he moves from reception to Basic.
