Hi Rxdocd - sorry I didn't get a chance to get out here yesterday. She didn't say why she called but she said everything was going great. I still haven't gotten my form letter though !!! I want it so bad so I can start sending her letters. I've already gotten the pre-paid phone cards, I plan to mail them with my first letter.

Good. I'm glad you got your pre-paid phone cards. That is such a great service! I don't have my form letter either. I called the recruiter yesterday about the form letter and he said it was still too soon and not to worry. It takes time to process them and form the groups of 80. He said if we didn't hear by next week he would call Chicago and find out what group my son is assigned to. I talked to someone else whose son recently graduated boot camp and it took about 3 weeks for her to get his form letter. I guess I'm just anxious like all the other moms. Glad to hear your daughter is doing well!

Just wondering which of you that had recruits leave 9/11 have heard a PIR date yet. I am on pins & needles waiting for the letter, yet hoping it won't come for a week or two. If my son's is 11/9; I won't be able to get off of work...if it's 11/16, I will be able to go. So I am telling myself the longer it takes the better my chances are that it will be the 16th. Any updates are appreciated! =)

Hi - looking at the replies above, there are some who left 9/11 that have gotten 11/2 as the date and some that have gotten 11/9. So here's hoping that you get 11/2. I am still waiting on the all important form letter too but I'm about to call her recruiter.

Oh my...I just called the recruiter. He gave me a ship & division number; but the mailing address for a different ship (according to the RTC website). Think I better just keep waiting and worrying. =(
