I know that must be hard to hear..(((hugs)))
My son's note was a bit more positive. It said he is still adjusting and the RDCs are tough but he is doing good and he thinks they will have have one of the best divisions. He misses family and can't wait to PIR.
Maybe an actual letter will be better.

I heard slot of ladies talking about pir and their scarve colors already, would you all like to do a certain scarf color so we may be able to meet at pir? Just tossing the idea out there!

I was so hoping for a letter this week..nothing yet. The last letter I received was the form letter Feb 24th.

No letter yet, just the form letter. I did get a FB message from my son requesting more information for his background check but it was very to the point and just what he needed emailed. I found it odd and checked with his recruiter and RTC before emailing it to the person he requested.
So ladies I found out if the phones are tied up, they are able to send a message through email or FB if they need information for anything. It's driving me crazy not being able to hear his voice or even getting a letter to know how he is doing. Maybe a letter next week!

BigD-I'm in the same boat. Still waiting for the first real letter. Keep hanging in there though it will get here soon enough.
Shermur- I know a lot of mom go through lala to get specialized scarves. The 800 div already claimed black and gold, and another division claimed green.
Tiffany-glad to have you!also great to meet another girlfriend in the group. My boyfriend left 2/16 for bc. Have you gotten a letter yet?? -
