Paracowboy,
If the CF said, " there will be NO contact with friends family over the coarse of your 11 weeks of basic training".....Fine, a recruit would consider those circumstances and adjust accordingly. Or not, and not get on the bus. However thats not the case....because that would be ridiculous. I can see how it would seriously piss off a instructor if when little Johnny/Jenny calls home every night someone is on the other end convicing them to come home because they miss them.The psychological affect of that cant be good for a new recruit, however its a two way street. People just want to know whats in store for them. Wouldn't it be better for a recruit to square away their mommy/Girlfriend issues in the first period of training as apposed to the day before deployment. The guy that asked this question got probably more than he ever wanted....George Wallace's post was more appropriate in my opinion.
"Yes you can call home. Don't abuse the right. "
