So he got an early call home but it wasn't to me.

Monday he called his mom for the usual "extra information" they always seem to need for those getting a high security clearance. I'm not sure they really need this info because I know for a fact that the information they asked for was already clear, concise and correct. I remember going over everything with my son to make sure all the "I's" were dotted and "T's" were crossed. I think they make random choices to see if there are in inconsistencies in the information given to recruiters and the information they get when they call home.

He should have called me too because they asked him what city I was born. His mother said he told them it was the city I grew up in, which is incorrect. I hope that doesn't cause him any trouble. I immediately wrote to tell him he had gotten the cities mixed up. He will probably be upset when he finds out.

His mom said that she tried to talk to him but he was able to converse. They must have been standing over him. She said he sounded good though which I was glad to hear.

Can't wait for his first letter and his mid point through RTC call.
