Update

Ben called me a few minutes ago. I was dead asleep and I heard the phone and I had to gain some composure to make sense on the phone.

Ben told me that he is in the highest leadership position that a person can be in his rank. That was pretty cool to hear. So that is keeping him really super busy. He is going to sleep at 11 and waking up at 4 everyday. He said his days are running together and he had no idea how long he has been gone. Too bad it has only been like 4 days. He sounded really good, but really tired. He had to go soon because he had to get up and be in charge of some kind of something in the morning. He told me that he misses Braeden and to give him a big kiss for him. He is already behind in his school work because of this leadership position and doesn't know how he will get it all done.

He said that his new group officers came in today and they just yelled at everything. If you had a thread in your uniform, of something that was off...they would just get in your face. Ben said he has never been so scared in his life.

I am so glad that he called. It helps me get through.
