Yes Have a great trip! I spoke to Jensen's recruiter, he assured me that she would still get the letters I sent. It is so stressful not hearing from her. I race to the mailbox every day. Thaks for your help with the address. I should have asked you before! Your the best. Hope to hear from you again soon.

ok .. so I finally did it ... hadn't cried (been anxious and nervous, yes .. but no crying yet) since she left .. until today. Got home after some errands and rushed to the mailbox ... still no form letter or any kind of letter. ugh. So, I called her recruiter just to double check that I really shouldn't be concerned. I could hug that young man -- so reassuring (he really is in the right job -- he knows how to deal with nervous moms :-). Anyway .. he assured me that it's not unusual for it to take anywhere from 2 to even 4 weeks to hear something. He said there has been no change in her address (division number), so we're still good on that, and he said that if there were a problem of any kind he would have had some kind of notification -- and he hasn't had anything like that. He said that if we don't get something in the next week to call him back and he'll see if he can check with RTC. So .. tell me please .. why is that I break down and cry AFTER I get that reassurance?? (Seriously, I do feel so much better after talking to him .... :-) still want that letter though!! lol

I'm so glad I found this group! My daughter is in this division, all I've received so far is a box of clothes. I was expecting the form letter by now. I'll feel much better once I've heard from her and how she's doing. We are planning to attend graduation and anxious to make plans...

Hi -- welcome. Yes -- as Jensensmom said -- just hang in there. I was going a little crazy this week too - finally called our recruiter yesterday and he reassured me. It's not unusual for it to take more than 2 weeks (he's known some to take as long as 4 weeks - I suspect that's not often though). Anyway -- happily, we finally received our form letter AND a real letter from our daughter just today -- 2 1/2 weeks after she left. So -- I'll bet you receive something in the next week.
