<p>Hi Matthewsmom64, how are you holding up sweetie? Did you get the box or the form letter yet? Do you know what division he's in? Isn't it such an awful feeling not having our babies around and not being able to communicate with them? My daughter left 11/8 and not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her dearly. But I take comfort in the fact that I know she's where she wants to be. She waited 7 months before going to bootcamp and all she talked about during those 7 months was her…</p>

<p>Hi Matthewsmom64,</p>
<p>Yes my son left on the Nov. 2 with 8 recruits from Portland , Oregon. They arrived in Chicago in the late afternoon - he called me around 6pm our time. Then he called again around 10 pm (12am) there time to say he made it safely to the Naval Center. I have not heard anything since. I am hoping to get the form letter soon so we can begin writing. I bet our boys are in together. My son is going to be a corpsman.</p>
<p>Good luck and lets stay in touch. Kim</p>

<p>i dont know about holidays yet. i do know that when my son arrived he called very briefly and said that my next call would be in three weeks. They wont be coming home for the holidays but at least i will have my phone call. I did find a website that gives a day to day schedule of what they are/will be doing so you can feel much better keeping in touch with that site. i refer to it everyday thinking okay this is what he is doing today.…</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Yes. my sister have driven up there before (not Great Lakes) and she will be driving with me (if we choose to drive -probably) but i think it will be better honestly because i understand that the graduation dates could change so as soon as we get the specifics on the dates etc for graduation i will be making plans for travel. </p>
