So I kinda knew going into today that I may receive a phone call from my husband. He left last week for BCT and spent the last 6 days in processing. I knew the newest company would be beginning BCT on the 19th so I put two and two together and figured this would be the company my husband was in. Knowing this and reading all the things people have posted on facebook I kinda had a feeling today would be the day. I had my phone attached to me like white on rice all day. Of course that's not that much different from any other day of the week seeing as I am addicted to my blackberry. I waited and waited no call, then I had to go to work. Just my luck 10 min after I get to work he calls my cell phone which I am not allowed to have on the sales floor. Lucky for me we had previously talked about what he was to do should he not reach me on my phone. He was a good man and called me at work like I asked. Just one tiny problem. I was standing there talking with my BOSS! I have only worked for this company for a week so getting personal phone calls that aren't emergency not such a good situation for me. I answered the phone and he said Hi. At first I didn't know who it was because it didn't sound like him. Then he said "Its me" I was so surprised I said OH! really loud and my boss is looking at me like who are you talking to. The call lasted all of 30 seconds in which time I managed to get out HI, how are you, and I love you too and he was gone. My boss still dumb founded by what had just taken place asked me " who was that?" I explained to her that I hadn't spoke with my husband in nearly two weeks and that it was a great privilege for them to get to call. I explained that I told him to call me at work should he not get me on my cell and she seemed to be ok with it. Back to the call. So after we get off the phone I start analyzing every second of the call. I noticed his voice was very shaky like when he heard my voice he started to tear up. Of course my mind running wild I start worrying and then I want to cry, but I can't cause I'm at work and my boss is already looking at me like I'm nuts. I'm thinking is he ok, does he want to quit and come home. Are they treating him badly? I'm so scared for him. Of course that's all I think about the rest of the night at work. Then on my way home I was getting a fix from my blackberry and I noticed that the company I assumed he was gonna be in had new pics up that said meet your drill Sergeant. The minute I got home I raced to the computer and sure enough my husband was in one of the pictures! I was elated and completely forgot all about him sounding upset. I love all my facebook sites like U.S. Future Soldier Family and Amry wife support group. They give you so much good information and you meet people. As I am looking at pictures and posting things I come across a lovely young lady names Tia. Her husband is also in Alpha company and what does she tell me. That there is a site for Ft. Benning reception Battalion and that they have pictures too! I go and look and sure enough my husband is in 4 pictures. Some he is even smiling. This took a huge weight off my shoulders. Thank you Tia! Tia was also awesome enough to give me the address, so I can actually send the letters I have written my husband. Now I can happily wait for the next call which I am assuming will be in 3 weeks when they switch over to the next phase!
