My son leaves from MASS on May 31.. anyone else?

Hi Everyone:
My son leaves on May 31 from Mass. Any other moms out there with a daughter or son leaving same time from MA?
Hi,
My daughter leaves the same day, but from NH. How are you holding up?
Mine left 5/31 as well. I got the call that night at 11:00 pm (her plane landed around 6:00 or 6:30). My Ex-husband got the box yesterday (though she was instructed to tell me that it could be 2-3 weeks). I understand some don't make the call--if there are too many using the phones and their cell phones have died. No news, in this case, is probably good news. If he hasn't called you to say he didn't, then he has by now, made it through most or all of processing.
I'm sorry you didn't get a call yet since it could be a while now. Thanks for starting the PIR group. See you there.
Ruth
Kathy and Laura,
This is an open site. One of you should send the other person a "friend" request (by clicking on her icon, then click "add as friend" when you get to the person's page). The recipient of the request must accept for the two of you to start using the Navy 4 Moms private message system. Within Navy 4 Moms, we only know each other by our screen names. Of course, if you prefer you can exchange regular email addresses but I would recommend doing so within a N4M private email. Good luck to both of you.
Please watch the videos and review the info contained within the following discussion:
My daughter too, leaves on the 31st and is also HM. Wonder if they are all for the same division.
We are at the hotel right now, in Dallas, and my husband has gone out to get us dinner. I'm feeling very anxious and almost as nervous as Charlotte.
Got Charlotte sworn in and shipped out of Dallas this morning. She has already arrived in Chicago. She went with 5 others (1 other girl and 4 boys). She was the group leader responsible for keeping them all together and getting them to the station at O'Hare. I got pretty teary eyed this morning, but now I feel really good. I know she has made a great choice, and I am enormously proud of her.
How did the rest of you shipping kids today do?
