My son's division is working through BS right now. I cannot wait to hear from him tomorrow. We got a letter today (taking much longer) and things are not sounding as good as before. He is anxious to get done and move on due to some drama happening between divisions.......saying my prayers

In my most recent letter to my son I asked him to make a list of things he would like me to bring when we come out for graduation. I know they are not aloud cell phones while in boot camp but I am bringing his phone and if I have to I will bring it back home and mail his things to GL when he starts A school. With no contact and only letters it is hard to know what to bring and not bring. I know after PIR we have to go to an AT&T store for a new sim chip. His got lost when his box of personal belongings were shipped home. I don't mind shipping his things out after boot camp. My husband and I just don't want to cause any trouble for him if he can't have certain items. I can't believe the days until graduation are down into the single digits. I am so looking forward to graduation and seeing my son.

momtosrship - My son told me NOT to bring anything to him, because he could not keep it or takie it back to RTC with him after liberty. We will have to ship or take belongings to him once he is in A-school.

I didn't pay attention to which divisions people were asking about until after I posted the list -- and then noticed they are the ones that are missing. oops - my bad.
