Robin...have you looked at the RTC site on facebook? Here is the link:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand
If you look on the left side of the page you will see forums, click on that then scroll down until you see 03/096 there will be people there. Hopefully sosmeone started a group, if not, you can start one and people will join.

Hi Robin,
My name is Diane, and I have a son in Ship 3 Div 096. He also left from Az. on 1/24.
I haven't gotten the form leter either, and it's driving me nuts! I did receive a short personal letter from him yesterday, and he thought we already received the form letter. I'm hoping to get a call from him this week end.
He sent the letter on 2/2, but we didn't receive until 2/9.
I was wondering will we qualify for the military rate at the hotels for attending our son's PIR, or do you have someone else in the Military? -

Hi Dianej
So glad to hear you got a letter.... I am so looking forward to something/anything at this point.. LOL. I keep saying "maybe tomorrow"... seems to never happen!
My mom booked at the Marriott... they gave the discount for having the SR.... free shuttle to the base.... pool/restaraunt. Try them... there is no deposit needed, just a credit card.
Good LUck.. keep us posted when you get that form letter....Hoping for tomorrow! :)

I will let you know if we get/hear anything.
Hope you get something soon also. I know they are very busy, but you think that form letter would be here by now. I don't get that.
Good luck to you also - maybe tomorrow! ........:)
