Why don't she call?????????????????????
Purps, I don't mean to scare you but they may not let her. Not that they have her chained in a dungeon but they want to limit contact with home, friends and family when the new recruits are most likely to be scared and wish they could change their mind.
When my brother joined the Navy he (and my parents, who met the recruiter) was given all kinds of 'promises' about where he would be trained, what he'd be doing, etc. After he took the oath they said, "now that you're obligated...you're going the Great Lakes training center (not Southern Cal...this was in winter) and by the way we can change our mind about everything else you were "promised" before you officially enlisted."
He actually managed to call my parents from the airport (he wasn't supposed to but somehow managed it) in tears, telling them "get me out of this!" Naturally our whole family was horrified. Dad contacted the recruiter and was told "tough, he's ours now"
He got over it to some extent and managed fine, did well as a sailor, proud of his big aircraft carrier and all that...finished out his tour...but the whole experience left a bad taste in his mouth from the very beginning (I think it is very shortsighted of the military to treat people like this because you know it backfires). He got out as soon as his time was up, and afterward, when he got hit up to re-enlist, he said, "you lied to me the first time, you're never getting the chance to do that again."
It's sad, he was excited about the military and it could have been a great thing for him, but once they broke his trust that was it.
