Well division 201 got to make calls today. Unfortunately the nature of my job he can't call me but called his dad. He said he sounded good and his dad told him about us not getting the "form letter" which he mailed but forgets where and hoping he didn't send it to a different address. He was up for 30 hours and super tired when he mailed this. All in all he says his knee is still bothering him a bit but still confident that PIR is the 13th. Hoping I get this letter soon to ease my mind but Joey is going to inquire about it and tell them that we haven't received it. He also has his 4 guests down and whats weird is he gave his dad a PW. Not sure what it means just like I am not sure what "hell week" is......trying to stay strong.....almost less than 24 days til PIR........praying that all goes as planned and all works out. Thanks everyone for your posts and advise.....they really help and mean so much.

We have gotten two phone calls from our son. He said he couldn't call on Mother's Day since they had a storm and had to lock everything down. He has been writing us too. He requested NEWS in next letters we wrote. He said they are in a bubble and have no idea what is going on! I was so worried boot camp would be too hard for him (he is my band & computer geek, not very athletic and more a brainiac than a brawn!) but he makes it sound like it is easy!
Has anyone else's son said they have NICE RTC's? aka Drill Sargent s? Justin has been saying that! He said this past week (he called me last Monday) was going to be hell week.
We are from Central Florida. Don't know yet if we can make the graduation which is killing me but if we do we will be driving.

My SR called yesterday. He got a 5.0 on all of his inspections, so he earned a trip to NEX, for 3 hrs. He ate Taco Bell, surfed the net, made phone calls and could play pool, etc. what a great reward for them-I didn't know they did that. He also earned the sharp shooter ribbon for his uniform!! I am one proud Mama!!!

ok question? Is anyone else still waiting for their "official form letter". Mine still has not got to me. I wrote my son and his father told him on his last call to him. Starting to worry and to think that I am the only one still waiting on this. PIR is in 15 days......anyone???? suggestions please or help?!!!
I was told not to worry if I have all the information (ship, division, PIR date, who's on the list, and the password) all of which I have, but I would feel much better having this letter in my hand.
