First Letter

Posted by Bill Yoder on April 6, 2016 at 11:19am

Our son arrived at boot camp the evening of March 29th. I read that they need to be assigned a Div. and ship to obtain an address. If all goes normal, about how many days from his arrival will he have an address<

Thanks

    My son went in 5/24... I got his "kid-in-a box" within a week... His info letter about a week later and I've gotten 1 call and 3 letters (all on the same day). The call and letters give me the impression things are going good!

    RTC typically post pics taken in week 4 of Boot Camp

    Remember that Paul can only put on the pictures as RTC does. Yesterday they stopped with Division 252. They arde doing their best to go in numerical order and we can only post them after RTC does.

    Hang in there and we'll do our best.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles! I can't believe that you got a personal letter before the Form letter...that's a first!

    We never received the form letter, and due to privacy issues could not obtain my son's address from either his recruiter or the public affairs office. I am happy to report a letter arrived from my son, so the address issue is solved. We of course wrote him back immediately asking him to send another form letter. So happy things are going really well and he is extremely busy.

    Britton - This is Bill's wife, Maggie.  We got a phone call from Matt last Saturday, and we finally got our first letter today. He sounds great, and he does know your son.  He said that they were bunk neighbors for awhile, but then they all moved bunks. So anxious to see him at graduation.  I can hardly believe that they're more than halfway through.  Hope your son is doing well.

    Bill:

    Sure hope you get a letter today.  We got our first one today.

    Britton - Thanks for the info. I mentioned your son's name in a letter to Matt and explained it may be a shot in the dark but one never knows. As of yesterday the 14th no personal letter. If I hear something I'll let you know. Interesting about the writing. We have been pushing Matt for years to improve his penmanship, why to go Navy.....
