from what my SR in 089 said last Saturday they had not assigned someone to the mail so they had not been able to send or receive mail yet...I think a few were able to get some letters out though.

Now you sound like me. My first two letter were long and the last one I wrote was shorter, I didn't know what to write that I did already put in the first two. I keep up and I 'll be at the 4 sentence quota I gave Troy when he left since he not a big writer.

my husband's original contract when he was supposed to leave in June said somewhere in Texas for Hospital Corpsman-Dental tech or assistant (I don't remember the exact name of the rating). He had to postpone his orders because he green card didn't arrive in time so he had to sign another contract, but he didn't remember the location of his A school just that he would have the same rating. then his recruiter said that he might be somewhere in Texas or Great Lakes and he'll find out where he's going once he arrives but my husband hasn't told me anything when he called and since there's been no letters I'm just clueless and confused. I have a feeling that it might be Texas based on what other people say about their SR's but that's only a guess.

Oh my well that makes sense why u dont know.... r u going to pir???

I don't know because when he had to change his boot camp date there was just so much confusion going on. He wasn't given a new contract, though. One day he was told to just follow the original contract and then the next day that's when he was told that he might be in Great Lakes. Yea I'm going to PIR, I might leave on a Tuesday or Wednesday and just eat the hotel costs because according to the weather they're expecting freezing rain and snow on that Thursday and I don't want to take the risks of any cancelled flights. Nothing is stopping me from going even if I take a train or even worse a bus.
