Hi jd, My son got to bc July19th. He was supposed to arrive the 18th, but his flight got cancelled. I have no info about a graduation date. I was happy to get his mailing address from his recruiter, but after reading lots of comments I am actually hoping the letter I sent gets to him. I did not use block letters for his name & didn't use his middle initial. I am hoping his form letter comes soon so I can confirm before we send out more mail. I have so much to learn I guess.
Not sure how to send a friend request on here, but I will poke around more to see how.

I have no idea of the PIR date yet...I am also quite concerned about the letter I sent my daughter. It was not in block letters and I dont know if I put her middle initial on it or not. I wish we would get the form letter soon.

I just joined MamaLamaDingDong's group for PIR 9/14/12 also. Not completely sure if that will be my son's PIR date as I still have not received his form letter, but the timing is about right.

Good Morning, I was just wondering if any of you with a child in ship 12 div 295 have received the form letter yet? Anxious to get so I will know the real PIR date. Right now I am just guessing. Got his box on Tues so I was hoping to get before the end of the week, but no luck. I have been on vacation so checking my mail has been easy....it is going to be so hard waiting at work all day to come home to check my mail.
