<p>Hi, </p>
<p></p>
<p>My bf left for bootcamp on Wednesday 9/2,and arrived in Chicago 9/3 around 6:45pm that evening. I talked to him up to the point where he arrived . Then he had his first call around 10pm that night , that I missed :-( (I'm still sad that I missed his last call) . He sent a text saying he love us and his next call is in 4 weeks.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I just wanted to connect with other members who had a loved one arrive on or around the same day . Have you received anything in…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I just wanted to connect with other members who had a loved one arrive on or around the same day . Have you received anything in the mail from your loved one ? Ship or letter info? Anything? I'm just in the dark about everything until I hear back from him next month. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Update: I received some great resources by another member, but it would still be great to see if there are other members with SRs that departed around the same time . :-) </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks, </p>

<p>My husband left for bootcamp on 9/24/19, I just wanted to see if there was anyone else in the same boat. Very impatiently waiting for the form letter and would love to know when everyone else receives theirs! His PIR date will most likely be around Thanksgiving (weekend before/of).</p>

<p>It would be nice to meet other parents whose sons or daughters will be in Basic training with mine. Lucky for me he has family where he will be in School, so at least I will know someone close to him when I cannot be.</p>

<p>The say that there is no such thing as planning ahead in the Navy. LOL!</p>
<p>My DEPper had been scheduled to swear in on October 11, but a month ago they told him that he could go on September 27. It was a little crazy because we had planned a major "sending off" vacation for the family and our flight wouldn't be getting back to Cleveland until late on September 25, and then we'd have to drive back to the Cincinnati area on no sleep so he could catch the van to Columbus the next day!…</p>

Fortunately, his recruiter was able to arrange that we could drop him in Columbus instead of him having to ride up in the van, we got a good night's rest in a hotel, got him there on time, and now he's off. Hopefully he will be well enough rested to do ok on those first few exhausting days. </p> Son just sworn in on 9/27 heade to RTC.tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2018-09-27:1971797:Topic:104483412018-09-27T21:56:16.920Zlemonelephanthttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/lemonelephant

<p>My boyfriend left for MEPS on Sept, 13th and arrived to Chicago the next day! Of course this means that I still have some time before I can get my hands on his first letter that comes in, but I was wondering if anyone else has a recruit that left on the same day and may know a close-to or specific date of PIR? Thank you :)</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My son leaves for a hotel near MEPS on the 19th, goes to MEPS on the 20th and then goes to the airport to go to BC. We went to MEPS when he entered into the DEP program a few months ago. I'm trying to decide if I want to say my goodbyes to him at our home before the recruiter takes him to the hotel or if I want to drive in horrible traffic the next day for 2 hours and see the swearing in again. I feel like if it's anything like the 1st swearing in, I will barely get to see him…</p>

I'm trying to decide if I want to say my goodbyes to him at our home before the recruiter takes him to the hotel or if I want to drive in horrible traffic the next day for 2 hours and see the swearing in again. I feel like if it's anything like the 1st swearing in, I will barely get to see him but at the same time I don't want him to be the only person with no family if everyone else is going. He doesn't care, he's just excited to leave but I'm a mess and probably overthinking the whole thing. Any advise? </p>
