ZERO WEEK

Jordan was able to call home today. We received his call at 3:23 while at church. Daryl and I decided to take our phones to church so that we didn't miss his first call. It came just a Relief Society/Priesthood was starting.
He made it through Zero Week which is the first week where you learn how to march, receive your uniform, have a hair cut, and have your basic processing into the military.
He said he is doing good. He doesn't want to come home and he loves the food except the eggs. They are like powder even when they serve them to him. He says he is eating a ton.
He told us that his TI (training instructor) has only yelled at him personally twice. Once his "come to attention" had a bit of wiggle to it so the TI called him a "wiggle worm" and had him drop and  give him 10 push ups. When the TI is mad at all of them he calls them all "goobers".
During the week he met the missionaries that are over the church services that he will attend. The are Elder and Sister Hussey. They are from American Fork. They also gave him his scriptures that he will use while he is there. They usually go to church at 8 a.m. but the chaplain that was supposed to drive them never showed up so they didn't get to go today. There are two other members of the church in his flight and 10 altogether in the squadron. 
He says they march everywhere and that they just learned how to make their beds today. There is a special way to make their bed with hospital corners and it has to be pulled tight. Tight enough to bounce a quarter on it. They sleep in bunk beds and he is on the bottom bunk. 
It is 101 degrees in San Antonio right now and the Air Force must be short on uniforms because they were given winter weight uniforms. Very hot to march in. Before every meal they have to drink two glasses of water to make sure they stay hydrated. 
He is not allowed to take photos and so we might not see anything until Basic is over.
