Im a stalking mom also except when I got mail on wednesday I met the mail man at the box. I made a pitiful noise after scanning the mail. My mailman was great and told me to be patient. He knew exactly what I was looking for. (he should whole family combined he has picked up 25 letters) Yesterday I met him again and his comment was "Sorry doesnt look like it is in there today" I was kinda embarrassed so I just said sorry and he told me never to be sorry for being a loving mom. Even though I didnt get my letter those words made me feel good all day.

Nope... No letter today... I do not expect one now till next wednesday. I remember hearing that they get 2 more phone calls home but I cant find where I read that and I dont remember what weeks they were. Did you happen to have read that? If so do you remember when that was? I have a prior engagement that I cant miss on Wednesday and fear that is when We will get the call. I so can NOT miss it. I will beable to get the mail before I leave but I hope the call isnt Wednesday.
Blessings, Kathy

They get a total of 3 calls..unless they earn more. The first call is when they arrive at boot camp to let you know they made it safe! The second call will be at 3-4 weeks! Most likely 4 weeks. We are getting closer!! The call could come at any time during the day and any day of the week! It will be an 847 area code phone number, I believe. The last call is usually a couple days before PIR to tell you they are officially a Sailor!!!! Y'all should join the Recruit Training Command Facebook page! When people start getting calls they post it on that Facebook page telling everyone what ship/div is calling so they can get by the phone!!

Hi Kathy, My son is going to Pensacola, Fla. I don't know what HM is, and I don't know what the exact name of his job, he is doing Air Rescue. You might know a little more than me. Sorry. I am planning on going to the PIR. I am from Austin, Texas and we will probably leave on April 12, 2012. I am going to look into flights, hotels and all that fun and stressful things. I have no idea where to start.

Hi Chiquitos,
My son too will be going to Pesacola, FL for A school. Although he won't be doing Air Rescue, he will be studying Criptology (firewall/de-coding) for the computer system for the Navy. I suppose I'll meet you on Ap. 13 at PIR. Looking forward to meeting all the Moms & Dads!!

Hi Chiquitos
We are not flying because we a planning a vacation to Missouri (my sisters). We are going to PIR then back to Missouri for the week. I did however get 3 rooms at:
Red Carpet Inn 3207 Buckley Rd. North Chicago IL.60064 Phone: 1(888)249-9119 Fax: 1(847)689-0025 www.redcarpetinnrtc.com
It is $59.00 per night and looks to be the closest I could find. I have family that lives there in Chicago but I wanted time for just us. Good Luck and cant wait to meet you.

I think this is AWESOME!
