My son is in the brother div429. Same as you, I received the box and letter but no phone call. Maybe that was just for the recruits that arrived earlier in the week? From what I've read the brother divisions train with each other and will get to know each other as well.
I'm curious if they are in the same division with some of the recruits that they met at MEPS. I guess I'll have to ask him.

I am sure they will call soon. They have to earn it. I did get the box and form letter too. Don't worry I am sure they are all adjusting well. They are not worrying like us, they don't have much time to think about it like we do. It will be over before you know it and then you can talk all the time.

My son is 19, he will be 20 in December. He attended college for one year first then decided to join the Navy. My daughter went through this a year ago so If you need to ask anything I probably can help you out. I know it seems like forever but it will be here before you know it:) Just keep writing and looking for the letter you get every week. Should be coming soon. Phone calls have to be earned my daughters group only got to call one time before the I am a sailor call. While others called all the time just depends how well they do each week.

My son called yesterday, I missed it but he did get a hold of my fiance. It was for security clearance stuff. He couldn't talk about personal stuff. Hopefully they will get a chance to call soon. Hope I do not miss the next one. Letters should be here soon:)
