Hello Moms,
I just joined this site, and have been reading all of your posts for a few days. My SR secretly enlisted right after turning 18, and went to bc on 7/9 without saying good bye to friends and family. Based on that date, her PIR should be 9/6 unless she is held back. It's a long story, but she disowned her entire family and friends after quarreling with her parents over her 21 year old boyfriend. I have not received any calls, the box, the form letter or any mail. :( I am sure she sent all to her boyfriend. She should not have joined because of her medical history, and saying I am "worried sick" is an understatement! I am petrified and my heart is breaking! While her brothers, father, cousins, etc. are hurt and angry, I have been crying so much that I have actually gotten wrinkles. I just start crying no matter where I am. I have multiple nightmares every night and get little sleep, and my doctor had to prescribe additional blood pressure medication for me. I don't know what ship or division she is in, but may have narrowed it down to Ship 14 Div 335/336, Ship 12 Div 331/332, Ship 13 Div 333/334 or Ship 3 Div 337/338. I have been writing her, but don't know the address. I would be forever grateful if you could ask your SR if they know my daughter, and how she is handling bc. Not knowing what is happening to her is killing me. Her name is AlinaMari from Redlands, CA, pronounced AlinaMarie and she usually goes by Alina. Please don't share the personal details with your SR so they don't get back to my SR. She is, obviously already angry at her family.
Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart!!!. I will keep your SRs in my prayers along with my own.

I am so sorry for what you are going through and I know it must be the hardest thing you have ever been through in your life. But, you really should remove this post so that no RDC can see this it.They do sometimes read these public pages and if it got back to her I am sure it would not help your situation. You don't want to make it even harder on your daughter. It sounds like this is something she wanted and as hard as it is your best bet is to try and respect her wishes. It really is hard to figure out when her PIR will be. My daughter's was a full week before I thought it would be. This could be a very good thing for her and give her time to sort out her feelings for the older boyfriend. Maybe she will realize on her own that she needs to reunite with her family. I wish you all the best of luck and she and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your reply. I am still hoping that someone will know her. So will leave it up for now. Still no word.
