Alex called when we were in Omaha buying Meredith stuff for her dorm. He called a couple of times (I generally don't answer numbers I do not know). The number comes from 847-473-xxxx. He was frustrated because he didn't catch Christine and had trouble getting me. But we got 5-6 minutes. He did think the card fiasco was funny. He sounds like his "crud" is almost gone and was in high spirits and sounded like he was having fun at "summer camp" (as Meredith put in one of her letters).
He did get his three stripes on his dress uniform for being at the higher pay grade, E-3. He said they the dress uniforms are very cool.
Gas Chamber is today. Yuk! Battle Stations is Friday, August 27. He technically graduates after passing Battle Stations. At that The Pass-in-Review on September 2 is really just for us.
I sent him a list of 15 questions last week, so hopefully he will answer these burning questions tnext week.
TTFN Dad
