Hi Cat... I called my daughters recruiter two weeks ago, she left 1/24...... He said her div was 096 and ship was Hopper which I later learned is 03....... I too haven't received a form letter. Is there a male/female with the same div/ship #'s? I feel your stress I am right with you ((hugs))

Good Morning Robin:
I just checked my mail on my way into town this morning, and STILL no form letter!!)0: Because this is week three, we should hopefully be expecting a phone call this weekend (tomorrow???)?? It seems like many of us on here from the same "ship" have not received the form letter, wonder if it has something to do with their particular division? Through word of mouth, I found out that my daughter is actually in a "push" division (because of her years as a United States Naval Sea Cadet), and that she may/is going to graduate 2 weeks earlier than expected?? This would make her PIR on March 2, but with no form letter, I truly have no idea!!)0:

Hey Robin, Sorry to hear you didn't get anything today. That probably means I didn't either.
I'm convinced it's a Division thing, since no one appears to have gotten the form letter.
I have to wait another 3-4 hours for our mail to come ,but will let you know if there is something there.
I did find out his GF got a couple of letters, and said he was doing ok.
Remember, "no news is good news"! I'm sure your daughter is doing fine.
I see you are a hockey family. My son played hockey for about 7 years - we love that sport!
Let me know what your recuiter says Monday - Good luck!
Cat - my son is in ship3 div 096, and no form letter. Just 1 short personal letter. The address his recruiter gave me was correct, so we've been sending letters, but haven't heard if he's gotten them.
I am assuming this is a coed ship.
Keep us posted if you get anything!

Hi Again(0:
I am pretty sure our girls are getting our letters because when I got the letter from my daughter, she did respond to a couple of things I had written in her letters(0:
I called our recruiter yesterday, and he said, if I didn't get the form letter by maybe next Thursday to give him a call.
Could you tell me where to look on FB for the pics?? I guess I was not aware (or had not read yet) that there was a FB site for Bootcamp??
We haven't had snow here since the weekend my daughter left for bootcamp - right now it's about 55 degrees outside(0: Don't mind the weather, but yeah, I live in the desert, we need the moisture)0:
Have fun at the hockey game!!

You actually have to delete the post.
To Delete a post that you have done ...any of them you click the "x" in the right corner of it. You'll notice that your have them and everyone elses don't. That's so they don't have the power to delete yours.
What you can do if you want to save it but just remove some info and it is an old post is highlight it, copy, paste it into a new reply...edit and repost. Then delete the old post.
The creator of the group sees everyones on her/his so she/he can monitor it. An administrator of the group can see everyones on the Discussions but not on the main pages.
So I can delete yours as an admin on this group.
I encourage you to give it a try, but can also do it for you this time!
