I finally got to talk to jeremy !! i had my phone shut off in church & when i got to SS class i saw i missed his call...SIGH.....so upsetting. he said he'd try later. and he did ...yeah :O)
we talked 1/2 hour.he is doing really great! he is accepting the leadership that is put on him & actually kind of likes it now...of course the perks he gets helps...lol he has earned extra phone call & little privelages. what a suck up...lol
he says he just goes about things like normal until he catches himself in a mirror. it then hits him he's in cammo & boots.this week he gets his dog tags & name patches.i think that will make it more real.
he likes most the people he is with.a few are from pittsburgh area,others from iowa,texas,minnesota,georgia & i forget. there are a few he says he will be surprised they make it through after this week.he says they constantly ask about the same things...like they don't get it.it drives him crazy.a couple of the guys are in the same career field & they will be in tech school together and have decided they want to room in the same dorm. that is nice.
he was not happy to find out i do not have pics from swearing in. i bet i get crappy pics.now he is suggesting we rent a car for the week. he's paying ...so okay by me. he said after thanksgiving dinner he just want to go to my hotel and sleep til he has to back on base..
the commanders coin ceremony might be held weds & not thurs due to holiday. i am not happy to miss that...hope they don't change it.i'm sure other parents will not be happy either. he will have town leave thurs & fri for sure. sat & sunday depends on how he does. only top 10 will get leave privelage for sat & sun.if not he has to stay on base. so far he has not lost any privelages...he's gained a few :O)
i am just so happy to talk to him :O)

Nothing like a voice to get you through...maybe you can even get a hug soon!
i'm so glad you got to talk to jeremy. i know that did your heart good. it's always hard waiting for those phone calls, i remember it well having gone through it twice. lol
both of my sons complained about different ones that did not want to follow the rules, or groused about everything. i think that is par for the course.
sounds like he is doing well. let him know how proud we all are of him.
hugs,
That's great and I hope you get to see him that weekend!!!
