Hang in there! My son shipped out 04/02 and I was able to talk to him today over the phone for a bit. He said he’s doing well, that was a big relief for me to hear. Also received the form letter and first letter last week. Stay strong!

<p>Hi Michelle - be sure to join the boot camp group - I left the link in the welcome message on your page. You will find lots of good info there as to what/when things will be happening in boot camp. You can expect the letter in about 9-14 days and once you have that you can then join your PIR group. Keep your phone handy and remember, no news is good news!…</p>
