My Daughter left today Sept 25th and still no phone call!
I am just waiting for more info while I go to sleep with my phone. I am wondering when her PIR date will be with the Thanksgiving Holiday approaching during graduation time. I am worried about my daughter even though she is one smart, tough cookie she was in a car accident last Wednesday rolled & totaled her car & phone. We were afraid she would not be cleared to leave but she was cleared Thank God but I hope she is doing good.

She's fine and in good hands. No news is actually good news this early in the game. A lot of SRs cannot call if they did not bring a cell with them. This is mostly due to not having a chance to make that call or not having a pay phone available at that time and had to move onto the next portion of processing.
Unless they need info during that first week, they will not be permitted to make phone calls until their third week and that is usually on a Sunday. Remember, processing week is not counted as week 1. Hang in there. I gets better. If you haven't received the form letter yet, you will soon. Then about a week later you will receive your first personal letter.

Thank You KwajMom this is good to know> I keep reading others that are getting calls so I get worried, Her recruiter told her to leave her phone home so she did. He also told her to bring nothing with her to send home so I will get no kid in a box. This is the longest I have gone with no contact. I just wanna here her voice & her famous "Im alright" this girl is tough yet full of life I miss her smile the most!
