Callen called again this afternoon to let us know he made it to Fort Leonard Wood. It wasn't so scripted, but just as brief. As he was going to hang up, I heard a drill sergeant yelling at "_____ Bagley". I didn't understand the word they called him, probably Recruit Bagley or something.
I also got a postcard today from him. Also a form letter that was sent to everyone, but here it is:
Dear Kellie,
I have arrived safely at Fort Leonard Wood, MIssouri. I am undergoing my initial processing at 43d AG Bn (RCPT) prior to being assigned to a unit for training. I will only be 4 or 5 days, and then I will ship to a training company. Do not write me at the address on this card or to the 43d AG Bn (RCPT). I will send you my mailing address within the next week when I am assigned to a training company. Also, I will inform you as to the date that I am graduating. For more information on my stay at For Leonard Wood, go to www.wood.army.mil/grad.
If I should be needed at home because of serious illness or death of a member of our immediate family.... (you don't need that part.)
Callen Bagley
