Phone Call-Labor Day

While I have been writing Cass a letter everyday, I still do not have an address that I can write him.  I expected to get a call from him on Sunday, August 31, since he called last Sunday but no call.  But I did get a call on Labor Day!  It was a little longer and he was able to call from his cell phone.  Problem is that he only got a few minutes to charge it so he had limited talk time anyway.

We talked for a few minutes.  He was frustrated because he did not start basic last week like he had thought.  Instead they are not starting until this Friday.  So there has been a lot of waiting around not doing much.  He did say that has some work out in a "tar pit" which is a pit of cut up tires.  So I do think they are getting in some physical training.  He is ready to get started!  He did recognize that he was getting paid to wait though!  He tells me that he sent his address to me. 

Graduation date they gave him is Nov. 6th.

He also said they would be getting their "Class A" uniforms (Dress uniforms) soon.  This is what they will wear for graduation.

He will not get to come home after graduation but will stay at Fort Leonard Wood and start his ATI training right away.

He tried to get me to conference Chris into the call but I could not get it done...go figure.  We hung up because he was getting a call in from Bruno.

He misses everyone!
