Call From Sam
I just had a 15 min. conversation with Sam. They let the platoon use their cellphones for calls today. She mostly wanted to catch up with what was going on with me and the kids because she still hasn't received any letters from us.
But what I did learn from her is that she is now squad leader (because she knew how to make the swiss seat for repelling and helped others do it --- thanks Walter). From Lane's experience we know that they appoint squad leaders and then fire them regularly. I guess they want everyone to have the experience.
She feels good about the way things are going. She hasn't lost any weight, she says, because they keep emphasizing for them to eat plenty. The DSs say they will take care of the weight. She is also in much better physical condition from all the conditioning things they are doing. She has moved up from D group to C group because she is running so well.
She is having no problem with her hair (a concerned she had had). She puts it up in a bun and it is staying there.
Overall, she sounded good from her voice in addition to what she was saying. 4 weeks from today I will pick her up for the Christmas holiday.

God, I can't wait to see her!
You guys need to give her hugs and gropes from me!!!
They pick squad leaders because they show leadership abilities and have balls. It really is a show of confidence in her. She, and you, should be very proud of her. I know I am.
