My boyfriend's parents received "the box" yesterday. I called the recruiter to get his address. He said it should stay the same as it is on the form letter. I hope we all get that sometime soon! Hope everyone is hanging in there. One week down!

My son left St Louis Tuesday the 6th. They actually drove up as there are 8 of them. We know Chicago and he was up there 1-1/2 weeks before he shipped out. Chris is on SHIP 13 DIV 234

How did you find out his address and pir date already? My sons recruiter said his address will come in the mail about a week after he left and his pir date would come in three weeks. He left us the 6th but flew to boot on the 7th.

His recruiter gave the info to my daughter. It is possible though that the SR changes PIR and/or Division so the SR may not get your letter or get it very delayed, so when you write letters, number them so your SR will know what order to read.

Well no letter again today, and he left on the 7th! I am getting so impatient, so I called the recruiter's office and they were great. He found his address in no time. He doesn't have the PIR date but gave me his ship and div number.
Ship 3, Div 239

My daughter left on June 6th too. She is in div 237, ship 12. I never got an initial phone call from her, which is really making this hard. Mailed her my 1st letter. Her graduation in August 3rd. I cannot wait to see her and hear from her.
