We're pretty sure it's 04-11 but no one has definitely confirmed that. My son's recruiter says he doesn't know the class number but I was given a link from someone else in N4M that had a chart showing all class numbers for this year. Their class is the fourth class that will graduate in fiscal year 2011 (which starts on October 1st).

Im sure at some point they will be able to shop and get luggage.I know when I went through basic we got to go to the bx and buy luggage and duffle bags for all our clothes.Oh I hate to think about how many days are left.I do however get to ride up to Ri with my husband and spend those last few minutes with him.Its going to tare my heart out when I have to fly back to Ga without him.I will have the kids to keep me very busy while he is gone.Tell you son to call his recruiter about info on medical records.They will make sure he has everything he needs to take with him if he ask.Well take care.

Hi all,
Regarding the medical records. My son's dentist said there is a form that the military has for doctor's to fill out ref medical/dental history. Anyone aware of the form and how to get it? Also, my son will be flying from Florida to RI. He will only have luggage large enough to carry what he is bringing. After graduation,how does he transport all of the uniform items? Are they boxed? Do they supply luggage, duffel bag or something? Little over 30 days 'til my boy leaves and still have a million unanswered questions!!!
