PIR June 30, 2017
TG 34 - 7 Divisions (203-208 & 934) Graduate Friday, June 30, 2017. Each recruit will be permitted 4 guests.
I think my son is in this PIR. I don't have the form letter yet to be sure. Should be here any day. Does anyone else have a son or daughter that they think will be there? He arrived to RTC on May 1.

My son arrived on May 1 and PIR is June 23! We got our form letter this past Monday. But, I think it's still possible he could be in a different PIR.

Oh how interesting! Ok, I will keep that in mind. I did receive the box last Thursday so I think the form letter should be any day. I can't wait!!! I am soooo proud of him and excited. How are you holding up?

I think we received his box Thursday too. Your letter should be any day now! All of these unknowns are very tough. It might be also that mail to your area could take an extra couple of days too. I would check with his recruiter if you have that info... he should be able to find out something if the letter doesn't come soon. Don't worry, it will come together soon! I am holding up pretty good, most of the time, but other times, not so good. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing even though I've been reading a lot of info. How about you? The good Lord will be helping us and our recruits!

I am happy that you got your box then too. Yes, I really think that letter will be any day now. I am just relieved that if my calcs re correct he is passed his P-days and is in regular training now. I am so excited!
I hear ya on some times are better than others as far as holding up OK. I thought it would be easier than it really is but as each day passes and I don't have any bad calls (that sounds terrible) then I realize that he is making his dream come true and I am able to move to a place of YAY for him! Like you said, the good Lord will help us support them...I have some letters ready to go as I don't want mail call to come with out him getting some love and support from us back home.
I am excited to meet other parents that have kids that left around that same time!!! Maybe they are together, wouldn't that be amazing.

Yes, that would be great! Keep us updated. I am waiting to get the letter as well because I need to know how much time/when I need to take off work.

My son arrived at RTC on May 1 as well. Got the box last week and the form letter Tuesday. His PIR is 6/23 too. I am glad that he has started his training...sounds like those processing days just drag it out. Hopefully you will hear soon and can start planning.
