Our son called today. They earned the privilege by passing a test. It was so good to hear from him. Can't wait to see him in 35 days.

I just got my phone call this evening....boy it was so good to hear his voice. The phone connection really was not all that good but just to be able to talk to him. So be ready because it sounds like the division is making calls enjoy talking to your recruit.

Sorry you missed the call..but at least he got to talk to someone! I recieved my "kid in a box" the next week, my son left on Apr 5. and i got it on Apr 9 via fedex. Then I got the form letter with all the information on Apr 13. IF you didn't get a box, it could be because he donated all of his clothes to charity...but if he took his cell phone you should have gotten that. Ask him in a letter what he did with everything. I got everything except the suitcase that he used, it had a hard bar on the bottom and it couldn't fit in the box so he donated it. The shots are normal, any time you are in the military you get a bunch...some are repeats of the ones you got as a child and some are other things that most people don't get immunized for. My son told me he has to have his wisdom teeth plus 1 extra removed so he will have SIQ for a few days. I made my reservations for PIR tonight...does anyone else want to meet up at one of the meet-n-greets?

About a week or so ago someone posted a link to order Division T-Shirts, could you post it again for me. I would really appreciate it. I would like to order these shirts for my family. Thank you

Hi Tylersmom-- Here is the link to order the divisional t-shirts we have already placed our orders i just scanned in the completed order form and emailed to there email address and they responded right away through email that they received my order and we would receive before we left to go to PIR. Just an FYI if you want the grey shirts they take longer than the black and they can't guarantee grey will be received prior to PIR.
