hello,
Has anyone heard from their recruit yet?
I don't even know what ship and division he is in yet.
What is your loved one going to be doing?
Caleb is going to be a quartermaster.

Calebsmom my son is going to be a CTN. I originally got my son's information from his recruiter. When did your son ship out and did you get the box yet?

Thank you for responding Proudmom.
I am worried that I won't hear anything other than thru this website as my son grew up with his father due to school district restrictions.
Any information or paperwork will be going to his father's home I am sure.
My son has my address as well and I hope to hear of his progress, but so far nothing.
He left from MEPS after swearing in on February 14th, and that is the last I have seen or heard of him.
No box, no letter.
I called my ex-husband just last night asking if he had heard anything, of which he said no.
Caleb's father was in the Air Force and definately has a different attitude than I. He feels that I am coddling Caleb because I am anxious to hear anything and because I plan to go to his PIR.
I hope they are in the same division and ship, because at least I could know alittle.
Keep me posted please and thank you again.

Calebsmom- You are just being a supportive mom. Lots of men do take that same stance that mothers coddle their son's too much. Going to the PIR will be an awesome day and if he chooses to miss that than that is too bad for him. Hope he changes his tune, because it is an important day for your son.

We received the box on Thursday and the form letter on Friday. He wrote a couple sentences on the back about the challanges of day 3. I suspect it was the obstacle course that he found difficult. At least we have an address to write to now and keep him pumped up with moral support.
