    My son left on the 14th and arrived late on the 15th.  I still have not gotten any letter and I have been very nervous to find out if he made his PFA.   I reached out to his recruiter last Friday and asked if he could find out his address and I got a response last night.   I expect to receive the form letter this week.  Fingers crossed.

      You are not alone!  I think I am doing okay, but I am constantly thinking about Zach and if he passed everything.  I have not received any letters, the graduation form or phone call home since the "I am safe" call.  Our recruiter sent me Zach's Ship and division information soon after Zach arrived.  However, I was told by another Navy Mom that Zach could have been relocated because it is common practice. I started to write Zach letters anyway.  The writing has been therapeutic for me.  I hope you get answers soon.  Did you hear about the USPS Informed Delivery Notice - I receive an email with images of the envelopes for my mail. I look forward to seeing Zach's letter!  I also tried the Sandboxx App to send Zach a letter and photo.  I was told Zach will get that letter quicker than standard mail.
