First contact from Connor

Connor rang briefly last night.  Apparently, they're allowed an hour to phone home, although I'm not sure how frequently.  He's settled in fine but has had trouble sleeping - new bed, new pillow, and he's sharing with eleven other guys.

They'd been in the lecture theatre all day learning about military law and health and safety, which just isn't his thing at all.  He likes to be active and I imagine that would've been hard going for him. 

The most exciting thing he reported was that he'd just got all soaped up in the shower and an officer came in, shouting at the men to be outside, lined up within 30 seconds or whatever, so poor Connor ended up outside with only his towel wrapped round him.  Of course, this was clearly the highlight of his day!  Certainly sounds like he's having fun anyway.
