Anyones child in ship 03 division 11?

[Beth_82]

My son is in this group graduating on Nov. 17th. I was hoping to find other parents to share information back and forth with. I got my form letter a few days ago and still no call. I read on this site somewhere that it could be nearly 20 days or more before we hear from them.

Join PIR: November 17, 2017 TG 02

Divisions 011 and 012 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.

Recruits are able to write during holiday routine on Sundays, so your recruit is able to write letters today and mail will go out in the morning. You should receive a "real" letter this week. See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.

You may receive an "I'm still alive!" call in week 3 or 4 (calendar week, not DOT), but that call can come before or after that depending on when the RDC is able to schedule the phone banks. Don't expect a call, but do have your phone available from 8ish am to 8ish pm Central Time and be pleasantly surprised when you receive a call.  The "I'm still alive!" call or other calls the RDC schedules usually come in the mornings on weekdays except on the day of a PIR because the "I'm a Sailor!" calls, which are typically made 1-7 days, but can come up to 10 days, before PIR, are in the afternoon and evenings, but calls can come anytime during those hours on Saturday.  Calls on the day of a PIR or on Sunday come between 1 and 8 pm. Calls for security reasons or for information are generally made during regular business hours.  Remember "No news is good news!" See Phone Cards and Phone Calls.

hello regarding calling cards I can send it to my son so he can call me correct or do I provide the information when I write to him

I answered your question in response to your private message. The information about who will be attending needs to be completed on the security form. You do need to send that to your son. Yes, you can send him a calling card.

Hi Rhonda! How are you fairing with your son being in BC? I am doing better than I thought I would. At this point impatiently waiting a letter from him or a call. I got the formal letter and the box but that is it so far. 

[Rhonda]

I am getting better, I will feel better when I hear from him letter or call. This is the longest I've ever gone without talking. I've sent 3 letters and my girls and other family members have too. Can't wait to hear how it is going

Hi Beth, did you get a letter today? I finally received one today. It was postmarked October 10th so it arrived in 3 days. Hoping we will get phones calls this weekend.
