<p>My son left for boot camp on Tuesday 4/16/13 and I to did not receive "the I am here phone call" i was so looking forward to that call. So I was wondering was that normal as well. He took his cell phone and a phone card already activated. Hopefully he knew how to use it. I am worried, Grand-mom's are worried as well. I take my cell phone everywhere i go just in case he calls. I don't want to miss his call. I am hoping he gets a chance to call soon. I miss my son...he is my first. </p>

<p><strong>Mar</strong>, your recruit was not on watch upon arrival--it's not possible. I suspect that the battery had died in her cell phone and she didn't have time to borrow a phone from another recruit to call you. Some forget to turn their cell phones off on the plane and they eat up the battery life while in the air searching for a signal. As I mentioned earlier, she <strong>may</strong> be able to make a make up call and those are usually on the Saturday after arrival. See…</p>

<p>Want to thank all of you for all your help. We received her box today, and talking to her recruiter found out the she might have been in watch when the phone calls were made. Feeling a little bit better today. I am not new to Boot Camps since my husband is a former Marine and my son is Air Force active duty ( he was in Boot Camp 2 years ago), but by GOD I had totally forgotten how powerless we feel when we can not talk to them, hopefully this will be over soon, so far I've written 4 letter…</p>

<p>If she didn't bring a phone, she might not have gotten the chance to call. It is pretty hectic when they arrive.</p>
<p>You'd have heard if something was up. Hang in there.</p>
