Hi jkruth....WELCOME! I was beginning to think I wouldnt find anyone else in my sons division. I received my box on thurs, but the letter came today as well. What is your daughters rating ( I think thats how they refer to it)? My son is a nuke. They say they are assigned to divisions randomly, but have seen alot of other sailors in divisions with similar rates. Also, checkout the RTC facebook page ( if you havent already). They have a weekly trivia contest (Mon & Tues) and the prize is a picture of your sailors division. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow, competition is fierce though.

Margie, it would be a good idea for you to wait for the Form Letter before you write to your son. Sometimes their address can change as RDCs do a lot of shuffling around divisions to different ships.
At the beginning of boot camp Recruits write letters on Sunday and they are mailed out Monday. Keep in mind that it might take awhile for you to get your first letter from your SR. This is because they have to train the SR who will handle the mail for your son's division. Most families get Mail from their SR on Thursday or Friday.

Once Recruits are out of Processing Days, Chiefs or First Class Petty Officers, allow their division to receive their Mail everyday. . Sunday is letter writing day.
