My son, Brandon, arrived at RTC last night and I got his 10 second call at 1:50 am saying he was there and fine. It was obvious they had him reading a script so he did not forget to say what Navy wanted said. Very proud of him. Now the countdown to graduation. I have started letters so I can send one a day once I have his address.

Div 260 date is not listed yet- because the generally reduced number of divisions at a PIR, you may be targeting 24 Aug.....but wait for updates and the form letter from your son
Our son has a very kind recruiter, so we received address within 3 days. His division is 260, how do we know when graduation date is, haven't received anything from our son. He left 6/21. We are assuming 8/17 for PIR, and would like to know for vacation request purposes for our jobs.
remember that you are guaranteed two calls....the "I'm here" call when they arrive at RTC and the "I'm a sailor call" at the conclusion of BS21....the other calls you MAY get are gifts by the RDCs.
I was worried when I got the "kid in a box" last Friday and his envelopes, paper, and stamps were in it. Found out that the Navy supplies some writing materials and limited postage so upon receipt of the form letter I got today, I sent his first letter along with a book of stamps. Better to have more then not enough. Looking forward to his call I believe will be next week which is week three and PIR August 17.
I got form letter yesterday. Div. 252. Ready for the first call. Is that at end of 2nd week or 3rd? I assume it wil be on a Sunday. Do the boys need stamps to send us letters? Was wondering if I needed to send him some or if that is covered somehow.
I got the form letter today. WHOOHOO.. I am so excited. Found he is on Ship 03 Div 253. Already sent a letter out to him today. Week three is this coming week so I hope I get that phone call.
Gene he flew in in chicago on weds 20th just 4 days ago. I was worried when i seen the 847 area code because it was so soon. He told me that his unit was rewarded for being ready before they had to be saturday morning. He said that it has not been to bad just alot of orders and alot of yelling. I hope you get a phone call soon. Let me know when you do and what ship and division your son is in.
