Phone call received

I discovered that the fourth platoon was given phone privileges following their PT test-- based on those results and the BRM results, they were given a 36 hour pass for family day (or not).

The following is snippets from the timed 15 min. phone conversation.

Josiah passed his PT test and received a 36 hour pass. This may be revoked at any time for any reason by the DS. But, Josiah wants his own room at the motel and his laptop so he can skype all of his friends and family that will not be present during family day (and still make it possible for his mom to get some sleep :)

Josiah may not be driving back with us from graduation in October because he does not want to spend nine-ten hours in the car for his ten-fourteen day break and the Army will pay for a plane flight. Details on this front will be dealt with at the Family Day.

He will not be going to California for any of his break time.

He is going to get to work with a grenade launcher soon. He said the specifics about the launcher but I did not follow all of it and it was hurried, broken up communication.

He sounds good.
