Ben called me again yesterday. He's got his own cell phone now, so if you email him your phone number you might get a call from him when he has a minute.
He was fishing, of all things, when he called me. Evidently, Ft. Leonard Wood has lots of ponds and lakes, so Ben and a few buddies bought some fishing gear on base so they could fish during their off-time. Because they cannot store the poles and gear in their barracks they have to hide the equipment outside near a pond, but Ben said very few people head out that way so there's little chance their gear will get stolen.
Other than that, he said it was a relatively slow week. Four and a half weeks to go!

Glad you left this up from 2006. I am researching the military now (March 2008), and wondered what BCT was like. I appreciate the unvarnished view and candor.
