Arrived at boot camp October 2nd

Hey everyone- my daughter left for boot camp October 2nd. I missed a call from her last Friday telling me that her graduation is December 13th. I feel like the worst mom in the world for missing her call. Really didn’t expect her to call so soon but it is/was great hearing the sound of her voice. Glad I have a voice mail to listen to anyway. Anyone else’s daughter graduating December 13th?

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.

Hello—

did anyone received a call??? My daughter call me yesterday and her PIR is schedule for 11/27 so far she said everything is okay. 

also has anyone used Sandboxx??? She said some of her classmates have used it and their letters arrived faster than regular mail.

Gigi, I use Sandboxx and love it! If you send it before 5pm EST, they receive it the next day, excluding weekends. It costs more than USPS but it definitely gets there quicker.
