Please don't be too bummed. We will hear from our SR's eventually. They are just so busy. The following was posted by a Sailor who was in the 900 on the fb, it made me feel a little better:

**Mail** As far as mail goes, we were only allowed to read and send out mail on Sundays (holiday routine). When week 4 hit, that's when we were able to get mail and send mail everyday.Starting week 4, writing letters was during evening routine which is an hour before we went to sleep. The first 25 minutes of evening routine was letter writing and the last 35 was boot shining or whatever. On Sundays we had up until 1300 or 1:00 to write letters

**Phone Calls** We were only guaranteed to have 3 phone calls. The first was when we first arrived at Boot camp, the second is around week 4 or 5, and the third is after battle stations in week 7. But we were able to earn phone calls by achieving at different things.

Thanks so much, it was all I was really looking forward to today when I got home and nothing! I am getting better, i just want to be able to hear what he is doing and how he is.  Hopefully soon or next week.  Just really focusing on 4/19

AndrewB/Mom, what paperwork was in the "box" with your SR's picture on it? I still haven't umpacked my daughter's box...I opened it and looked through it....but haven't been able to convince myself to go through it.....or to start going through her room.  She made piles of things/clothing she wanted to keep and give away.....I cant bring myself to do it. 

Division 156 is a regular division and every division is a good one to be in.  Yes, once he is assigned to a divisiion, he most likely will be in that division for all of his time at BC (unless something happens, but we will think positive thoughts and believe that all will be well and he will have PIR on time with his division), but every now and then recruits are moved around during P-days, so we say not to trust the address until you get the form letter. Divisions 155 and 156 are brother divisions and will train together and have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so watch for others with loved ones in either division. Your SR could have PIR on 04/19/2013 or if he is in a Push Division, it could be the week before.  The 04/19/2013 PIR group will not be formed until someone gets a form letter. I hope that answers your questions.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.

You're welcome.  Things happen.  If you ever need anything, just ask.

I think you have me confused with another mom.  I haven't emailed you and I don't have a daughter-in-law and I don't think my son is planning on being in Queens anytime soon.  If you received a PM, it would have come from one of the 2 people you have Friended.

Welcome and do join the groups I mentiioned in your blog and if I can help you with anything, just let me know.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.
