Hi Laurie. They actually get mail everyday. They begin writing letters the Sunday of their second week and if their division is doing well they also get to write Tuedays and Thursday in about the fourth week. I made the same mistake and didn't send my mail our earlier in the week because I thought they only got it on Sundays which resulted in him not getting a letter until the third week. He was worried we weren't going to write him, but I can tell you after that letter we made sure he got one everyday.

Hi! I actually did see it, but my son's recruiter didn't have a PIR date to give me. I'm pretty sure its the right day, but I met another mom on here whose son arrived at BC the same day and his PIR is September 28th! So I'm just waiting on the form letter to confirm it. Are you starting to make travel arrangements yet?
