My husband was able to call me last night on his cell phone. At first they were told that when they had "square-away" time they could use cell-phones, CD players, chargers, etc. We were both really happy about that because pretty much unless they're out in the field they get square-away time every night. Even though his training does involve a lot of time out in the field it would mean at least probably two or three calls a week, at least. But then another commanding officer told them they couldn't use their cell phones and stuff. We were both pretty upset but we figured then at least we'd probably get one phone call a week. Last night I found out that my husband realized that the second guy has said they couldn't use their cell phones in the barracks so as long as they're outside on their square-away time it's okay. That is such great news for us.
