I called my daughters recruiter just a while ago and he was able to give me an address for my daughter. Anyone else get their SR's address that left this week? (7/23-7/26)

modesto- Thats AWESOME you got her info already! Im so happy for you, it must be such a relief to have an actual date to focus on. I havent gotten anything yet...except that damn box! It came yesterday, I knew it would but I didnt think it would be as sad to see as it was. Im going to see if I can get some info from the recruiter, good luck to you and Im sure your letters are already sitting in the mailbox!! I have a few ready to go myself, just need the address! Talk with you soon!
Hey, ModestoAngel,
That's great you've already gotten the box and address. I bet those two notes cheered you up. I will be thinking of you and the others that just sent their kids off this past week.
Those 2 notes meant the world to me. I clutch on to them every chance I have. I'm still waiting for the form letter so I have an exact date for PIR. This waiting thing though, I'm not doing so well on.
My son left July 25th, I think he got there the 26th for the 27th...I am looking for an address
