My daughter is in Ship 11 Div 133 and I was so excited to get the form letter and a little note on the back from her.

@Melinda: Wow, I wish I knew how to answer that question, but I have no idea. Is there anything on the RTC website that indicates what to do when sending items like that? Did anyone from 11/133 get a call today? I know I didn't...disappointed.
No phone calls today... i missed my first call so i have every phone transferred to my cell phone... i was wishful thinking they would have called because it was Easter... needless to say i was very disappointed. :(
Someone else on the Boot Camp group said mail it US postal service and she is quaranteed to get it tomorrow, but I looked at the day to days and according to my calculations picture day is today. And no phone calls for me. I really want to talk to her and hear her voice.
According to the "what happens at bootcamp" blog, photos are on 4-4. I've lost track...what day are we on?
Shinystuff, from my calculations they are on 4-4.
Thanks Melinda, I'm back on track! I sure hope he orders the photos! I think I drilled it into his head enough that I WANT PHOTOS!! LOL.
I'm the same way, I want the pictures. My daughter told me in a letter not to worry she was definitely going to order them. I think you can order them after if he doesn't order them for some reason.
I wonder if we will get the pictures before PIR? I can't remember how long it took to get my oldest son's pictures after he had them taken.
Does anyone know what day ours SR's are going thru Battle Stations?
@Melinda: I was just reading 134s posts, and someone there said BS starts today. I know they go in order, so 133 will be third from last if 924 is last. I don't know how many go each day though. I also read day 6-5 is when BS begins. Knowing that, 133 may not have their turn until later in the week or next week? I don't know for sure.
