DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

When should I expect a letter??

My boyfriend left for BC on 9/27 and I was just wondering when I should expect his first letter to arrive.  I have heard between any day now up to 3 weeks but some clarification would be wonderful.  I miss him so much already!!!

Yay...now tell her to get on here and join the PIR group when ya'll find it out. Make sure you share info in his letters with her...I've found out that gf trumps mom when it comes to getting letters so it will make her feel good if you share

It looks like his Gma and another family member (aunt maybe) are on here, that is GREAT...lots of support for him and for ya'll. The first few week will be VERY hard.

He should get his first phone call about 3 weeks after he got there...watch for the 847 area code and id is usually payphone. Occ they get a short info call before that and the id is US Government.

He has a calling card right?
