No letter yet for me either. My son was one of the recruits at Tampa on 9/24. Did either of you ladies get a call this weekend? A lot of moms from TG 02 got calls this weekend.

I believe we were together at MEPS. My son was the little black one in the middle. I received his box this past Monday. Hopefully we will get a letter soon and a call soon after. I will post any updates I receive.

Yes! You our sons stood next to each other when being sworn in. Mine had a blue polo on and was on the left of your son. I was trying so hard to keep it together and I kept looking at you and your teary eyes thinking "you're killing me" LOL!

My son left from Tampa on 9/24 as well. His box arrived early this week. I am making multiple trips to my mailbox everyday - can't wait for the letter to arrive!

Hi NavyMom! No letter here either! :(
I'm pretty sure that makes all of us that we at the Tampa MEPS together on 9/24 letter-less. From the way it looks, I'm starting to think our PIR will be 11/26 (The day before Thanksgiving)

So happy for those who have received letters and their boxes. My son left on 9/23 and so far no box has arrived, let alone a letter. Sounds like he possibly could have a PIR date of 11/21. Waiting patiently for some news.

Hi my son left from Michigan on 9/23 too. I received his box four days later. But I'm still waiting for his letter. I would like to know his PIR date so I can make travel arrangements. It's hard not knowing what's going on!
