martysmom...hang in there...my son went in at the end of august and my first call came the first week of October, Thursday to be exact...at 4:10PM...and yes it was that memorable....lol...remember what your recruit said was you would get a call in "about" 3 weeks....that leaves a lot to the discretion of the RDCs...lol!!

The one thing it stressed on the paper as well as when I spoke with the PAO was do not plan on coming up to surprise your sailor. They must know. and I know that it is very hard to get communication back and forth right now. The PAO personnel are very helpful.

There are a lot of people afraid that they won't get the Christmas form from their SR in time, myself included. I hope and pray we all get them in time. I was told that the deadline of the 15th was flexible :)
