Hello—
My daughter left October 1st and so far I haven’t received a call or any letters. I didn’t know they can call that fast to give you an update. The last call from her was when she arrived the famous 20 seconds call. Don’t feel bad I have been answering all calls and so far I have only had some annoying telemarking calls. Congratulations!!!

Gigi, I don’t know her division. I haven’t received the form letter or anything. Her voice mail was hard to understand but it sounded like “ours got set back a week.” So I’m not sure what’s going on.

Have you gotten your form letter yet? I have not. Not knowing anything is so hard.

Thanks, Gigi. Yes it was only because her class graduation date had been pushed back a week, we are guessing because of Thanksgiving. Yes, I totally thought it was a telemarketer and ignored the call. Feel really bad for that. Lesson learned though and I’ve been paying for it by answering every annoying telemarketer call since lol.

Yes according to my calendar her PIR should be November 29 Black Friday by I was checking website and there is a message saying that PIR’s will be Wednesday Nov. 27??? Do you know what division or ship she is in?? I don’t know if you can say it here for privacy concerns you can DM me if you like. I am totally new to all this web thing. Lol I would hate to travel for thanksgiving week but that’s my only option I will do anything for my girl.

My daughter left for boot camp the same day! I haven't received a call yet and I assumed that she'd be graduating on 11/27. Maybe I'm wrong...
