Got a phone call this morning from my son he loves it and sounds great you can hear it in his voice. It lifted a weight off my chest to hear how happy he was. He confirmed ship 12 division 346 he told me the ship name but I forgot it already. He said they did a letter already, who knows when it will be sent out though.

Dillons Mom.
I feel for ya about the struggles with your son getting E2.
We had a similar situation. My son got his Eagle Scout which gets him E3.
He took his cert. with him to meps and they said that was not good enough he would have to go as E1. We were furious. He worked so hard for that.
My husband retired from the Navy so he was a recruiter and also worked at meps. He told them you make him E3 or he goes home. It
s not like we were trying to get rid of my son. i certainly was in no hurry to see him leave. Needless to say He swore in at 12 noon as an E3. It was very frustrating and my husband pissed off a lot of people but my baby made it.

How far in advance do you have to book the hotel/motel? We will be driving out there from New York. (we are lucky, we won't have to rent a car)

Any ideas on Hotels? Residence Inn seems to have good ratings

Jessica,
No I don't. If no letter today I will breakdown and call the recruiter on Monday.

Happy Saturday 10/15ers! We are another day closer to PIR! Yippeee!!!
PattyV - Our boys are in the same division. You are the only other one I know of so far! My boy left on the 18th and I have the box, but no form letter. Maybe it will come today! I sent you a friend request.
winniesam - it'll be ok... as I told my recruit before he left, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take it hour by hour... it'll be over with before you know it!
I'm good a giving advice... just not taking it though! ;) LOL... so I know how you feel.
Together we will get through this right along with our recruits. We will all learn some valuable lessons along the way, too!
Cyber hugs to all!

DanaMN: My son's last name begins with N and I received the form letter Wednesday so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you will probably get it tomorrow or Monday the latest. Now I'm getting greedy. I can't wait to get a real letter or a phone call. I am really down in the dumps today.
