Phone Call

I spoke too soon in the previous post. Just as I hit "enter", Tim called. Here are some notes from the call:

1) Tim is still sick - either a sinus infection or an ordinary cold. Going to sick bay is strongly discouraged and results in abuse from the drill sergeants, so you don't go unless you are really, really sick.
2) Tim called from his mobile phone. Apparently, they will have use of them for an hour every Sunday.
3) Tim's official P.T. test is on Tuesday. Those who don't pass don't get to participate in Family Day.
4) Tim will probably have a fresh haircut on Family Day. In other words, he will look essentially bald.
5) Also, Tim is required to wear his uniform all weekend. Not supposed to wear civilian clothes in public.
6) Attended Catholic church today.
7) Really looking forward to Family Day.
8) Tim says he looks really stupid in his Army glasses. His head is small and the glasses are big.
