Same! My NC seems to be doing really well and enjoying the experience. I’m so happy and relieved
I’m at 2027 cadet, we had our first call three weeks in during life cream social and we had about 3 hours with our phones. We were suppose to have one a week and a half in that was about 10 min but it never happened.Rather than starting a new thread, I am adding to this one to bump it and discuss calls for this year. I have seen things about 10 minute limits and the number of calls allowed. Can anyone explain the phone call process and opportunities during Beast? I am not the parent of a cadet, so I won't be privy to the info posted in the moms / dads FB groups
got it. so is it different from class to class? That's great to hear you got it that much during Ice cream social - makes getting to call everyone you want to call a little more feasibleI’m at 2027 cadet, we had our first call three weeks in during life cream social and we had about 3 hours with our phones.

The ice cream social will definitely happen that never changes, but the small phone calls in between might change depending on leadership.got it. so is it different from class to class?

Yes, it changes from Year to Year. My 2016 and 2021 cadets did not get a phone call until the Ice Cream Social. However, you might get a photo from a random number--maybe from Chaplain's Time or the Uniform Factory...got it. so is it different from class to class?

The 10 minute phone call is NOT happening this year. The first phone call will be on July 20th at the ice cream social - CBT1 PL
so, which is it? haFRAGO: Parents should know this, but all NC’s will now get a brief phone call to their parents anytime from Friday-Sunday this weekend.
FRAGO = change of existing planso, which is it? ha
If we missed it today, are we going to get another shot this weekend? Mom would sure appreciate it. She ran up the stairs like a wild woman but was slow getting out of the lake ...FRAGO: Parents should know this, but all NC’s will now get a brief phone call to their parents anytime from Friday-Sunday this weekend.
do you know why some calls were so short? Were cadets limited to one call, or would one be shorter to make an additional call? Can they trade call minutes for additional privileges?FRAGO = change of existing plan
Those details are always going to be up the the different Cadre. Every company and leadership will allow this by opportunity and direction from higher. Answer any call you get though.do you know why some calls were so short? Were cadets limited to one call, or would one be shorter to make an additional call? Can they trade call minutes for additional privileges?
Only a limited time to talk on the phone ... had to fit a call in to BF/GF in that time as well? Also, think each cadre has some license.what reasons would there be for a call shorter than 10 minutes? Talked to some parents who only got 3 minutes, 4 etc.
