I feel the same...can't sleep, can't eat, and can't focus. I still haven't gotten a
call and have given up on getting one. I have looked at his picture all day
hoping he can feel how much I miss him and love him. I know I will feel
better when I hear from him or can communicate with him. I am trying
to get an address so I can at least start writing.

I got it from my recruiter. I called Thursday afternoon, but they weren't in the office because of all the snow. I had his cell number. He told me he would check first thing Friday morning and call me if he had it. I told him that if he forgot, I would be at his office annoying the crap out of him. Sure enough, he called me as soon as he got into the office with the info. Call your recruiter tomorrow....I'm sure the info is on the website. It's part of their job. By the way, I was very good natured about my threat.. Their office is in the mall so I stop in frequently just to give them a hard time. I don't know what your relationship is with your recruiter, so I don't know that I would "threaten" even good naturedly if they don't know that you're kidding. Anyway, I would be quite firm about it and let them know that others who left at the same time have the information. Good luck!!

Thank you DTLA. I was figuring their PIR will be 2/18 as well, unless the holidays messes them up. Can't wait to receive my daughters letter with her address and PIR date. We have letters waiting to be sent. Thanks again.
