Generally the first letter you will get it the form letter, but you should get a personal one soon after or about the same time. Note what day it arrives as all letters are mailed from boot on Mondays, so you should get a letter on the same day each week. As far as phone calls, yes they will get a chance to call home again, but sometimes they are only earned, depends on the RDC and how things go in that division. You will get a phone call generally at least near the end so make sure you always have your cell phone with you! many years ago my son was able to call me 3 times during boot total.
