My daughter is in bootcamp been there for 5 weeks now. Anyone else got a daughter in the Great lakes right now? Tiffany has met a girl there that is helping her with phyical fitness and studying with her dont know her name but would be cool to meet her mother on here. And any advise you got for a mother missing her daughter would help also.

Hi Tiffany's Mom...my daughter is at GL as well with her PIR being October 18, she left Aug 19...my girl is in Ship 3/Div 392...what is your daughters Div? I miss my baby girl very much at times, but I look back at her letters and she tells me she is where she belongs, that she feels as if this is what she was meant to do with her life ( first letter was a very homesick letter). It is easier than when she left and especially since she has so much confidence and feels so good about her choice.

My first letter came after she had been there 2 weeks...seems like everyone gets letters on pretty much Thursdays and Fridays...some occasionally on Wednesdays. My first phone call came on Labor Day weekend...very emotional for both of us, but each one has been much better. Its been 2 weeks since I have spoken to her, they are now on " earned calls" since they are busy testing, getting ready for Battlestations and graduation. From what I have read, unless she does something to earn a call, or gets hurt, I won't hear from her until we get the " I'm a Sailor" call...which is pretty close to graduation time.

Any Mom's with daughters in Great Lakes with PIR 11/1/13?
My girl is with Division 410 - I have received 1 letter and I am hoping for another one today, it did come on thursday. It's funny but last week when I was really having a bad day at work and I was just down and out, got home, checked the mail and what a lift to my spirits. It's amazing. Hope you all hear from your loved one's this week! I wanted to thank you all for being there for me with my questions.
