Hi Tayshay, I think that your boyfriend leaves a day earlier then my son since he is traveling from New Mexico. My son and 2navykids son will be leaving from Columbus a day later. They should be in the same division at boot camp I have been to Las Cruces a few times. We lived in Albuqerque for 2 & 1/2 years When my son was 2 and 3 years old. New Mexico is a beautiful state.
