I told him I didn't expect to hear from him on a Monday (usually they let them call on Sundays), and he said they were all surprised, too when the drill sergeants told them they could call home.
He sounded really good and very happy! He said he loves the training although he's still having a little trouble with his endurance in PT. As soon as he said that, I immediately asked about his lungs, but he said that he's fine - it's just that he's still getting into shape. He can do 48 sit-ups now and today he ran 2 miles without getting winded, but he still has a long way to go.
He said he went to a Bible Study today and that they took pictures. I just checked, and here he is!!!

Oh my!!! Look at that shaved head and huge glasses (they call them BCGs: Birth Control Glasses, LOL!!) At least he had dark glasses before, so he doesn't look too different. And look - he loves his mommy!!!!
We weren't able to talk long, but it was so wonderful hearing his voice!! And now it's wonderful to see his face!!!
Gail,
