My son has been enjoying himself. They gather every night and watch movies. He likes everyone in his whatever they call it: the guys that all live on the same floor. He calls me a lot and we talk on Facebook. This is so much better than bootcamp. I am planning a visit the first weekend in April. Has anyone else gone for a visit?

Chris in MI: Glad you got the box and letter off. She may get the letter telling her where the box is AFTER she gets the box! :-) I'm sure she will eventually get both boxes and the letter. Good luck to your daughter at Meridian!

I sent it Priority Mail. He got it in 2 days. I was surprised that he got it right on time. Bigger boxes go to a different place on the base than the smaller ones. So she needs to be aware of the 2 places there to check. I understand that there is a "mail list" posted...no mail call like boot camp. So she will need to be checking.

Chris in MI: The 6 lines part is right. But I'm not sure the street and surely not the suite number would be the same for everyone? I know the address looks a little odd, but I'm sure what you have is correct. Her name is the most important. My son asked his roommate for the address and relayed it to me, and he has received mail fine and the box with his cell.

sschick02: Wow, you are going to have an extra wonderful time when you go there for PIR...being asked officially to marry him, and celebrating in the joy of his graduation. The flags are a BIG thing. They really are proud of those and get caught up in the competition. The part of bc that he is in now is still hard, but the fun factor is much greater. Battlestations next week or the 1st part of the following week for him will be the culmination of everything...an all-nighter...and then he trades his recruit cap for his Navy cap. Quite an honor for them. Good luck and congratulations!

thanks. Bootcamp sounds like it is going good for him. I talked to him about 2 weeks ago and he sounded really good. He actually proposed to me in a letter and says he has big plans to officially ask me during grad weekend. He told me in one of his letters that they had earned a flag and I'm not sure if they have gotten more since. I believe his job code is going to be SH but not sure. I looked it up and it looks like that is being phased out? He said his school is 4 weeks (20 days) in MS. I am so excited that I am down to just a little over 2 weeks.

My son called tonight, he starts school tomorrow. He said he got his orders already and will be stationed in Maryland, not sure where. He still has not received his cell that I mailed last Thurs. HAven't mailed his laptop but now I know to get delivery confirmation, thanks for the advice!
