Hi All & Welcome!
My son is in Div 16 and I received a phone call from him on Saturday. He sounded happy and told me he was with a good group of SR's. Sounds like things are going well and I couldn't be happier. I am really looking forward to meeting other moms from this group. We are all so lucky to have each other for support, encouragement and friendship. Can't wait to meet you all at graduation!

Yes it is great. My son called me and my dad Saturday and he is loving it. My dad joked me about all the groups I'm talking to, but is glad this is out there, since his mom didn't have all this information when he went to boot camp in 1969. I feel very informed with all these people that know the ropes.

I think we may have missed our call on Saturday. There was a missed call and a message with nothing recorded. It was about the time that everyone else was getting them. Not sure why he didn't call our cell phones. That may be one thing to keep in mind. If your son had a cell phone with your numbers in it. He may only know your cell phone number as Mom cell or something like that and not know the actual number to call. We will be mailing him our cell phone numbers just in case.
Glad to see there is a group for Div 015/016.

Sorry about missing the call :( Before my son left I realized that he didn't know any of our cell numbers, so I wrote them down and he put them in his wallet. Hopefully, your son gets your letter with your numbers in it before his next call. They should probably add that into "What to do before leaving for boot camp" I bet a lot of SR's have the same problem. For what its worth, my son seemed to be happy and he has been in the same group with your son everyday for the last two weeks. I know you are disappointed but at least you need not to worry it sounds like its all good, :)

Good evening. Thanks Ellen0502! It is great to have a spot narrowed down a little bit!! Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed on here. LOL!! My son is in Div 015. When I talked to him on Saturday he said his bunk mate is from VA. Any of you VA Mom's have a bunk mate from IA? Maybe us moms can connect.

Hi there! This is my first post! I have a daughter in 015 division...we missed her first phone call and apparently her first letter to us. We did receive what appears to be the 2nd letter she sent. Has your son told you or conformed that for sure we can bring four people to their graduation yet? And do you know if its too soon to book those tickets or not? I'm clueless., I'm up now early PRAYING we won't miss her call this morning. I'm Tracey in CA☺
