DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Hey everyone, I want to give you a "HEADS UP" to be prepared to receive calls from your SRs this weekend!  The call will show up as "847", "Pay Phone", or "Government" or anything else that may be unfamiliar. Let your family members know about this too in case you miss the call somehow, so they can pick up an unfamiliar call~~ If it is a sales call, just politely tell them "No, thank you."

During this time in Boot Camp, please keep your cell phones charged, ready, and with you all the time---upstairs, downstairs, out in the backyard, in the bathroom, out to get the mail, of course, out on errands.  If you are going to a loud restaurant or a movie theater, remember to put it on "vibrate" and put in your pocket or some place you can feel it.  They can call during the week or weekend, so just be prepared:  6:00 am - 6:00 pm (West Coast); 8:00 am - 8:00 pm (Great Lakes time); 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (East Coast).

Happy Friday!

     "For it is God who commanded light to shine

      out of darkness, Who has shone in our hearts

      to give the light of the knowledge of the glory

      of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Yes,that is fine, krabbykelly.  Just enclose and don't make the letters thick where she will have to open it in front of the RDCs.  Better to enclose them in separate letters that don't make them thick if that's the case.

Welcome!

Krabbykelly, my son left the same day. I hv not received the letter. What does yours say about her PIR date?
Comment by krabbykelly on October 3, 2014 at 2:46pm

Hi everyone! My daughter. Arrived at boot camp on the 24th. I got her box and her form letter. I was wondering, can I send her wallet sized photos of her sisters ( school pictures). They hadn't arrived before she left. Thanks!

Comment by bananabear on October 3, 2014 at 12:27pm

My daughter arrived at GL on 9/24.  I received her scripted phone call at 8:30 p.m. that evening; received the box on Tuesday; I have not received the letter.  I am anxiously waiting for the letter because her recruiter gave me her address and said her PIR is on 11/26.  9 Fridays after her arrival is on 11/21.  So confused!!

Melissa- I love your countdown chalkboard! I'm hoping to get my letter today, nothing in the mail yesterday. 

Comment by diannep on October 3, 2014 at 6:57am

Welcome to the new members here and Good Morning!

Yes, please stay on this page until your PIR group is confirmed.  Ask any questions you like!  We N4Moms veterans will try to get an answer for you!  Read back through the pages here to see if any of your questions may have been answered also for someone else.

Comment by N4M10756 on October 3, 2014 at 6:40am
I have not received my letter either. My son left Sept 24. I have read that some SR's that left on sept 22 have their PIR on 11/14. My count of Fridays comes up to 11/21, so I am also sticking to it until I hear otherwise. Have a great Friday everyone!!
Comment by Melissa aka: Daniel's Mom on October 3, 2014 at 6:12am

Haven't received the letter yet, but I have my fingers crossed that we are on track for PIR 11/21/14. So until I hear otherwise, I am sticking to my original count down.  

Happy Friday Ladies!
