I called my son's recruiter and he gave me his address; SHIP 3 DIV 084. I haven't received any calls or letters but need to make some reservations. Is ther anyone out there who can confirm my son's graduation date to be 2/18/11? I'm starting to get a little concerned.
Thanks,
Michelle

Thank you so much for the response. I have been checking my mail daily and have been keeping my phone attached to my hip so I don't miss his call.

My son is also in SHIP 3 DIV 084. While I have not received the letter either, the GL RTC website is listing 2/18 as the official graduation date for this DIV. I just reserved my hotel and am starting to look at plane tickets. The hotel reservation I made can be canceled up to the day of with no penalty so I didn't feel bad making it.

Hi Michelle! My son is SHIP 03 DIV 084 too. That's the info I got from his recruiter last week and I got his form letter today confirming that and grad date of 2-18-11. I know the waiting is so hard isn't it? I'm so used to talking to my son almost daily. I'll bet you get your letter tomorrow. :-)

My son left the same and is in the same division. His form letter said 2/18/11. He has called his brother twice, cause he has his phone and needed security info. He said he has sent three letters but no one has gotten anything. He said he is getting one or two letters a day but everyone else is getting twenty so everyone needs to pick up the pace on writing, which I send two or three a day. He said the food is not that great, and he is not getting very much sleep but making friends and still happy he joined. He keeps getting into trouble for laughing. He said write about anything, stuff to make him laugh, news what ever. So gonna write more.

I still haven't received anything for my son, but I just received a package I order two weeks before Christmas in the mail today. I am really dying to hear how he is doing and how he is likeing things so far. On his form letter he said another letter was on its way as well. I have been sending him lots of letters and cards. I have been adding all the team standings for football in his letters as he is a huge football and I am sure there are others who will want to know what is going on as the teams enter the playoffs. Well off to write him another letter to mail in the morning before work.

Just received two emails in the last few minutes one from my daughter in NC and one from a good family friend in Texas. The y both received letters today from my son. I am a little jealous to say the least.
