Timothy - that's great that you have such a good recruiter - with that being said though you should still wait until you get the official letter from your SR in case anything changes and he gets put into a different division.
Please join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date (once they have it officialy posted). Here you'll find lots of valuable information.

Like B'sNukeMom said, that's great you have a good recruiter, but wait on the form letter.
Your sons division may change within the next few days because of the new PFA testing. If you send letters now, they will be delayed getting to him, and they might just be returned.
Your son will not receive mail until he moves over to his training ship. Even then it will be one to two weeks before mail starts to be distributed. A recruit must first be trained to handle the mail before it can be distributed. Any mail that is received before that happens is set aside for sorting a time allows.

My daughter also arrived on 6/27/2018. I don't know how long the call was supposed to be but mine was for 13 seconds. I received the box this past Thursday and now I'm waiting for the form letter. (Good luck to you and yours)

My son arrived 6/27/2018 - I received "the box" last Tuesday. That was quicker than expected and warmed my heart to see his handwriting on the box. Still waiting on the form letter.....praying it comes this week! My patience muscle is getting worked out that's for sure! Can't wait!
