Hi Jenideer, My son also left on the 24th. I got my box yesterday and am trying to get his address from the recruiter, but no luck yet.

I'm surprised that some people have already received their box. I'm hoping for it today. I don't know why I'm so excited to get a box of dirty clothes but go figure. I really miss my girl. I started crying while making dinner last night. It just hits me out of the blue sometimes.

My son left Nj on July 26th. I was so happy that I made him take his cell phone. He had a 6 hour delay at the airport,,,so it was a relief to hear from him that he was ok and still waiting to fly out. He sounded so tired when he called and was able to sleep on the plane. He sounded better when he called after they landed. I am now waiting for my box and letter. The silence is killing me. I am so not use to not knowing what he is doing or where he is. I know he is safe but he is the first to leave home......

I received my box yesterday. It was kind of weird seeing all her clothes in there. There was also one tube sock, I'm assuming the other one was kept for her to keep her stuff in. I read somwhere that they do that. Her Bible was not in the box so I am happy that she got to keep it. Anyway, there were also two letters from her that she wrote on the trip to Chicago. It was awesome to hear all the great and loving words from her. She will turn 18 on August 9th so I am going to send a birthday card today and hope she gets in time for her birthday. So yesterday was a good day and now I am waiting for the form letter and hopefully there will be a personal message on there as well.

Hi all, well my SR is in ship 11 div 302 and his PIR is the 21st of Sept. I have booked my hotel the Navy Lodge and gotten airline tickets today.
I heard from Tracileighe another mom who's son is in the same division and got lucky to get a call my SR is doing well and is the flag leader, not sure what that means but must be somewhat good. So no word yet, she said the 302 wrote letters this past sunday and so maybe we will be getting one.
Hope everyone out there is well and maybe we will all meet at PIR. :)
