Hi bluera12,
I wasn't sure this message was back to me but I thought I would answer. My son left on the 18th and checked into RTC early on the 19th so he was there before your son. Maybe that is why the PIR is a week earlier but I am not sure. Is your son on Ship 13, Div 007? We are from Southern California between San Diego and Riverside.

Hi my boyfriend left 9/23 as well. He was supposed to leave 9/22 but for some reason it got pushed back. I got a phone call from him when he got there and his mom told me she got his cell phone on the 26th. Does that mean there will be no box? I'm dying for information. I wish he could call me or write so I would know when he graduates. I just hope he isn't in holding or anything.

The cell phone was in the "box", i.e, the personal possessions he sent home.
You will know when he is graduating when he mails the form letter. If mom got the box, she is the likely recipient for the letter, too.

My son left the 23rd also. His recruiter told us his PIR would be Nov. 21. ( if all goes as planned, I guess.) Hopefully it is then because I have taken that day off from work. I just got "the box" today!!! Just his clothes, shoes, phone etc. no note or anything. I understand your missing your son/daughter. I am missing my son terribly!! Just not being able to talk to him and hear his voice. I am so grateful for this site too!! It's nice to know I'm not the only mom who feels like this.

My son is in the division 951, his graduation is Oct 31. This division is for the kids that are have musical talent,or musical rating, drill team experience or show military bearing aptitude. My son did ROTC in high school and did drill team, so that's how he ended up there. And he's performing the honor guard for graduation. Your son may be a flag bearer or if he was in ROTC, maybe honor guard also.

Do you mean 11/14/2014 or 11/21/2014? There is no PIR on 11/24/2014.
