Thanks, diannep. I wondered if it was something like that. I was just hoping someone knew another call was coming soon. We got a letter last week but not this week, so I'm really starving for news from my son. I tell myself, "No news is good news"---and repeat as many times as necessary!

katelynsmom, Unfortunately the recruits are not allowed to "share" their open guest seats, it is against the RTC rules. If it happens anyway, and the recruits are "caught," it can/may bring penalties to your recruit as well as all those on the list not getting in.
It is very possible that your overflow may be able to watch the live feed from the chapel on base. Your circumstances are really what the overflow in the chapel is for.

So I'm not sure if this entirely appropriate... But I have no shame when it comes to family...We have a unique family situation and really need 7 tickets. If anyone's recruit doesn't need all of their slots, we would appreciate help. Two of the tickets are for retired military, one is my 81 year old father. This would likely be his last chance to appear in uniform and it would mean so much. The other is her special needs brother. This isn't a sob story, our family is very blessed! We are all going either way even if her dad and I need to give up our own live seats for our veterans. But I thought it couldn't hurt to ask!
Pm me if you can help.

Blessed Sunday!

to those who are perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the Power of God."

Christine: CatMom is one of your N4Moms veterans....she has been helping on this site for a couple of years now. She knows from past PIR groups that many times, they get to call during a weekend shortly after arrival. That is why she wants to make sure that all keep phones close, just in case. We, your N4Moms veterans, do not have any heads up factual info from RTC on when calls will come. Just keep the phone close at all times!

I was suprised when someone (CatMom?) told us to be ready for a call a couple of weeks ago. How did you know?! Do you have an idea when the next one will be?

Good Morning!

Sinners8ved,
It could be that your SR has alot of responsibility or just didn't get that chance to write. I'm in Southern California which is the same distaince from GL that you are and my letter day was Thursday~~ Just know your SR is doing what he can to get through Boot Camp successfully! Your prayers are holding him up too!
