Email from bootcamp

My son commented that he had been issued an iPad during boot camp, and that they were going to allow them to use email!  I told my wife that I'd believe it when I saw it - of course the very next Sunday I got a text from my son asking which email account we wanted to receive our communications on.  Hmmm, we were able to exchange a few emails before the privileges were over.  He told us that he would probably get to do this every Sunday.  Well, his PIR is this Friday, and needless to say we haven't received any additional email correspondence (oh well).  At least we already know his official navy email address!
