<p>If I figured the timeline correctly, I believe we might get the form letter around 10-8. Hopefully sooner! </p>

<p>Our son shipped from ST. Louis on 9/1. Details sound correct and hope this group is onboard at RTC now. Can't wait for them to get through their PFA and hopefully get form letters sent out!</p>

<p>Good Morning Amy,</p>
<p>I was already in bed when you posted this, sorry. I have to scoot but wanted to just say, make sure you post on the main page of the BC Mom group. Be sure to scroll down most of the way until you find the comment wall. That is where we do all of our chatter, encouragement, and post our ups and downs with this emotional journey. If you haven't joined please do so. </p>
<p>You are correct, other than the "I'm Here" scripted call, there is a lot more long silence period…</p>

<p>You are correct, other than the "I'm Here" scripted call, there is a lot more long silence period than in the past. It is likely going to be 4 weeks or so before the Form letter arrives with information on where to send letters. And many people are not receiving phone calls until after Battle Stations right before PIR.</p>

Any advice or tips or info for us would be greatly appreciated!

<p>Did you read BelovedbyHim's blog about boot camp and quarantine? It sounds like they are actually in a room with two other SRs and they can keep their doors open and communicate with the three SRs across the hall. They just can't leave their rooms. That's still not fun, but sounds better to me than complete isolation. I was just counting the days, and I believe my son just has 4 or 5 days left in ROM. I'm just praying that he doesn't have to go back to ROM at the GL RTC. I guess that…</p>

<p>Hi! My son left 9/1 and I received the scripted "I am here" call at 1 am Wednesday morning. He was able to tell me at the airport in Chicago that they were stopping at GL to get their gear. Not sure when he actually arrived at Fort McCoy but would love to know so I can know exactly when his quarantine started. I too hope they are not totally alone since they are on a base instead of a hotel. I can't imagine!</p>

<p>Hi Jen! My son left Virginia on Sept 1st going in for OS as well! My husband was an OS for his entire 22 year career. Jordan also entered the delayed entry program in February. I'm sure our sons will be together! </p>

<p>I know this is going to sound silly of me, but I realized our son also did delayed entry. I know he went to what he called DEP meetings. Now I know what that stands for. Lol. But he enlisted with the Navy Reserves back in April, I believe. But he couldn't go until he finished police academy, which got put on hold because of Covid. He finally graduated from police academy the end of July. He will be going to A school for MAA. In the back of my mind, I'm wondering if he might end up…</p>
