Know that Divisions 011 and 012 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.</p>
<p>You may also want to join, or at least check out, <a href="http://www.navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms" target="_blank">Boot Camp Mom's</a>, <a href="http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pirreferenceinformation" target="_blank">PIR Reference Information</a>, and <a href="http://www.navyformoms.com/group/newmomsstophere" target="_blank">New Members Stop Here</a>.</p>
<p>Write to him often. Even though he can only write on Sundays at first (maybe today for the first time), he will be able to receive mail every weekday (Monday-Friday) if it's not a holiday. Writing will help you feel connected to him and will make his day if you are encouraging and let him know about things that are of interest to him. </p>
<p>You may receive an "I'm still alive!" call in week 3 or 4, but that call can be lost for any number of reasons. Don't expect a call, but do have your phone available from 8ish am to 8ish pm Central Time and be pleasantly surprised if you do receive a call. The "I'm still alive!" or other calls the RDC schedules usually come in the mornings on weekdays because the "I'm a Sailor!" calls, which are made 1-7 days before PIR, are in the afternoon and evenings, but calls can come anytime during those hours on the weekend. Calls for security reasons or for information are made during regular business hours. Remember "No news is good news!"</p>
