the first phone call

Jacob was finally able to call this morning.  Now I know that he's there safe and sound!!  It was a quick call as he just needed a copy of my drivers license but we were able to talk for a couple of minutes.

I asked if he was getting enough to eat and getting enough sleep and he said "kinda".  He didn't elaborate, but I'm assuming it's because it wasn't supposed to be a personal call.

He and another recruit may end up going to Fort Leonard Wood this week if there's room for them.  They were both supposed to be there initially, but ended up at Fort Jackson.  Either way, he should be starting basic training by the end of the week.

As of right now, I don't have an address for him.  I'm sure once he figures out if he's staying or going I'll have one and I can pass it on.
