hey BoosMom and welcome to the Navy!!! she left this evening???? oh my i know what is going through your head!! hang on Momma it's gonna be a bumpy ride but she'll do great. shortly you will get a phone call "mom i'm here i love you i'm ok" and that will probably be all she is allowed to say.....don't worry....we all get the same kind of phone call. in a few days you will get your "kid in a box"....any thing she was wearing or took to GL. there will be a letter that has her division number and Pass In Review date (graduation) and her address.
i don't know how much research you have done regarding Boot Camp but they don't get to call often.
JOIN your kid's PIR group. believe me....being in touch with the moms that have their kids with your kid will make life easier for you....you will all share lots of information.
N4Ms has LOTS of rules about keeping your kid's identity secret for their protection....learn those rules and should you break a rule about some thing that you might mistakenly post and some one calls it to your attention then be thankful that some one has "your back" and wants to help you.
well like i said, i don't know if you knew any of this but any thing i can do to help...i'm just a message away....don't hesitate to contact me!!!

My son left last Weds, May 18th and arrived at Great Lakes the next day, Thursday, May 19th. The "box" came today, Weds May 25. The FedEx pkg was mailed on Friday the 20th. His pants legs were rolled up just like I've been reading in other posts.

It looks like you have joined the PIR 07/22/2011 already, so you are in good shape. You'll just have to wait for the form letter to come. SAVE THAT letter - important - will have your password for getting parking pass. Just be sure to join this group for info everything for PIR

Hi BoosMom, my son is in the same division as your daughter. Is your daughter doing the same thing in all 3 of the PIRs that they are in? My son said that he is carrying the Alabama flag for their PIR, but it wasn't him holding the Albama flag in last Fridays PIR. Also I am so worried, he was so faithful in writing every week and now we did not get a letter last week or today.
