Hi Mommadash, It looks like me & you so far. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, my son went through bc last year & it's still pretty fresh in my mind. How are you holding up, did you receive your box yet? We got ours yesterday, but still no letter. I do remember from last year that they would only mail letters out once a week & we would usually get ours on Wed. so hopefully today.

I got my box Tuesday as well. I get through it day by day, I cry alot & my husband is wonderful about it all & I am driving my son crazy. He graduated bc in Aug last year & is stationed on a sub. I call him everyday to ask what might be happening. This morning I got a call from Great Lakes & it was a corpsman asking what kind of reaction she had to penicillin, she has never been given penicillin because her brother is allergic to it & I told him that, He told me he was sitting right there beside her & I didn't get to talk to her. Needless to say I cried all day today. I called my son to ask him why they would call & did he think it was because she had a reaction. He told me that today (P4) is the day that they get the "Peanut Butter" shot & they were just being cautious.

Welcome Moms!! It's nice to see other moms in our division.
@Jaksmom...the letter we are talking about is a form letter that they fill out when they arrive at RTC & are assigned a ship & division. This letter will give their address, PIR date, information on how to get onto RTC & a short note from your recruit. The letter usually comes shortly after the box.
I've gotten the box, but I am still waiting on the letter. What ratings are your daughters in? Where will they go to A School?

Got a call from Great Lakes this morning & my heart skipped, I just knew it was my daughter, but it was a corpsman telling me that he was sitting there with her & was wanting to know if she was allergic to pennicillin. She has never been given anything pennicillin based because my son is allergic to it & their pediatrician thought it was better to be safe than sorry so he never gave it to her. The guy didn't offer to let me talk to her & I was afraid to ask if I asked to speak to her it would get her in trouble. UUUGGGHHH!!!!!!! :(
