still awaiting my first letter, and the dreaded package of my sons worldly possessions, this sight has been a godsend!

hey I sure would love to hear from anyone whos child shipped out to bootcamp on 1/4/13

Hi my son shipped out 1/4/13 and i received his box today  maybe they are together

didnt get the form letter yet but it would be great if they are together,We will have to wait i guess next week and see;)

Hey everyone, I got my letter today!!!! Oh thank God, now I can send him all the letters I've been writing! never been so happy to see his scribble in all my life!!!

I received the form letter he is ship 13 Div. 104 let me know when you get yours he did not write the date though i am assuming its 03/01 keep me posted

I get info on this site late dont know why but i am glad they are together and i will see you at graduation keep on writing :And keep me posted too.He didnt write anything the address was on envelope with hotel booklet he hates to write hes got bad handwriting so i wasnt sure of date but now i know from you:)

Hi jackie, nice to meet you, my name is Darlene and my son is Kalob. I am new to all this also , all excited and confused at the same time, cant wait till PIR we are leaving here, ohio, on thursday morning in hopes to go to the meet and greet , i wish your son Mike all the luck

I got my kid in a box today way after my form letter, there was no note, I searched his cell for a text but nothing.  This isn't going to get me down cause I have been writing him like mad and i know it won't be long till I get a letter.  Actively making plans for PIR helps me get excited instead of depressed.

hey, everyone booked my flight/hotel accomadations and yep crying again.  I realy am coocoo lately. anyway, flying southwest feb 28th-march 4th, and stating at The Resident Inn by Marriott-Waukegan. counting down the days.

Hi.  His rate is likely Master-At-Arms, abbreviated to MA.  After being next to Lake Michigan for Boot Camp, he'll like the Texas weather!  Our boy is going to be an Information Systems Technician ( IT ), and he'll be going to Pensacola, Florida for A-School.  Wish WE could spend a few months there, too! 

Hi Jax.....  my sailor has said that the food in boot was quite tasty...  except for the eggs hahaha  they wrecked havoc on his bowels to put it nicely HAHAHHAHAHA    i don't remember is he tried veal..    4 WEEKS TO GO!!

That is great you got a call.  I thought it was a little late for calls, just hoping everything was good.  Only 4 weeks to go. 

Hi Jax.  Are you counting the days yet?  I'm almost counting the hours!  :)  They should have had pictures taken this past Friday.  He called Feb 1 and told us that was 3-4 day.  So the 8th should have been 4-4 day.  Last week, from what I hear, is the hardest week, outside of Battlestations.  I'm sending a link to a page that breaks Boot Camp down, week by week, up to Week 6.  Today should be 5-1 day, if my calculations are right.
