Update --Feb. 27
Samantha joined most of her unit in "phasing" on Friday, Feb. 23. That means somewhat more freedom in that they are able, once dismissed after class on Friday each week, to: (1) wear civilian clothes, (2) leave the base during the day. The worst thing at this point for Sam is that she cannot go ANYWHERE outside the barracks without a "battle buddy." So if she wants to go to the library, doctor, bar, etc., she must first find someone else willing to walk there as well.
She is still hopeful that she will be able to get leave for her sister's wedding in April. But there is no way of knowing what the decision of the Commander will be. She does continue to make the highest grade in class on her tests (although she shares the honor with others at times). It truly galls her that she doesn't make a perfect grade on every test.
Samantha is also looking forward to softball season.

Ya know, if she can find the right "battle buddy," she can have a lot of fun with that! Just sayin'.
Why does she have to have a "battle buddy"?
bt -- I don't really know but it was also one of the main things that Lane complained about. 4 months of individual training and you are never supposed to be alone (even going off base during off-duty hours).
I didn't have to do that when I was there, but maybe it's different for women. Can never be too careful I guess.
