What BCT Batallion/Company is she in?
Yeah, I remember the first phone call I made when I was in Navy boot camp some 24 yrs ago, was quite the joy!! She is in 3160 Inf Rgmt-Bravo Co-3rd Platoon, at least that is how I address all the letters I send her.....don't know much about the Army structure, being a Navy guy.

She is going to be a signals intelligence analyst, at least that is the training they promised her. She will be going to a base in Texas for her AIT, which is cool cause its much closer to home than SC is! So maybe we'll have a few chances to see her while she is there.

BTW, she has mentioned BRM (?) a couple of times in her letters, but I didn't get a chance to ask her what it is.......does anyone know? I think it has something to do with weapons training, as she is talking about qualifying with her M-16 (scary by itself when I think of my baby firing a weapon like that)........geesh now I feel kinda old!!
