Do they do anything special for the recruits that are in bootcamp on Christmas? I am a little disappointed that my sons graduation date is delayed. I figured his PIR date would be 2/4/11 but his div was not on the list to graduate so I am guessing it will be 2/11/11. I haven't gotten the form letter yet but expect soon. Got his box last Friday and that was a sad day. I hope they get to call home soon!!

Be sure to put SR, last name, first name, MI
and I believe we put RTC below the ship and Div number.. if you look above the correct way is listed (discussions)
and WELCOME! We are on the countdown at least!

mapakids @ I am really not computer savvy on this thing.. LOL I wil ltry and add the clock later today when I am home. But if you find something cool let me know! :) Its funny what they strip away, I guess they will provide the paper when they get to that point to write.. I wonder if they got to write any letters yet this early in BC. Hard to think it will only be a weekt tomorrow that he left.. it really feels like at least TWO weeks already! and we still have 8 more weeks to go! I got the cloths and ticket stubs and his study material he took..his phone and IPOD. No note either... :( Maybe on the form letter they let them put a note?
