Anyone have a son or daughter that left for boot camp May 11, 2011?

My son left for boot camp yesterday.  Wow! What a bittersweet day!  I'm very proud of him, but he left our nest empty.  His brother is in AIT in the Army.  I hope to hear from other parents who might have someone there with him.

We will be at the PIR at the same time

What ship and division?

 

ship 3 div 221
My son left May 5th, and it sure was bittersweet! It's just what he wanted, and I want him to be happy, but I realized that he is not likely to live around here any more. I will miss him.   I'm looking for the kind of personal form letter that I found once on this site- a letter to send to your recruit and they just fill in checkmarks- saving them time, but we get to hear from them. Do you happen to have seen these and know where to find them?  I copied ideas from one and was hoping to do it again. My son DID send it and I was thrilled to get SOME news from him. : )  I'm guessing our son's are in completely different battalions....
Do you do FaceBook?  I had someone send me a form letter for them to fill out on FB....I could send it on to you
okarai24 ~ I found those questionaires somewhere on this website. Maybe in groups or forums. It's titled "questionaire" I think. I printed them all out and took what I wanted from all of them and made my own. Cute idea, good for boys, I may actually get it back with alot of my questions answered! Good luck, I am just happening on things as I look in different areas. Still havent found anyone with someone on Ship 03, Div 218. Still no one out there?  Am I in the wrong place?

My son is same ship, but different Div he is 221

I haven't found anyone same ship and same Div either

Hi I have a girlfriend that is on ship 02 DIV 934. Today is now 5-25 I wrote 10 pages of letters yesterday but still have not received a letter but I imagine one will be arriving soon. Does anyone else have a loved one that left 5-11-11 or assigned to the same training ship and DIV that has received a letter other then the command letter? Please comment back or connect with me I would love to correspond with you. Thank you.

Hi,

I read somewhere that the only day they may write letters is on Sunday. So, I'm hoping for a letter this week. My son left on May 10th.
