  • My son call said he arrived at RTC Tuesday night: Based on past reports from other Dads, I expect the form letter with Division assignment and address to arrive Monday or Tuesday next week.  I thought that they would allow him to call again on Thanksgiving (oh well, wishful thinking)....

     

     

     

  • Paul,

    my son also left on Tuesday. He was so ready there was no holding him back. Good luck to your son. i have a feeling they are having a welcome rest and maybe some sleep.

  • Paul - we received the form letter today, it was post marked Nov. 18th, last Friday.  Our son is in Ship 09; Division 041, with a PIR date of January 13th.

  • Uggh. I guess I'll give the recruiter a call tomorrow.

  • Whoa that's a bit overdue. You should definitely get it by this week...

  • We still haven't received the form letter from my son. Today marks 11 days. I'm hopeful it will be in the mail tomorrow (Monday).

  • Could very well be; however, even if in different divisions they will have PIR on same day.  I booked a room already for the weekend of the 13th and 20th of January "just in case".  Expect our PIR will be the 13th, but when I asked the PR department said wasn't certain because of the half days at Chrismas and Thanksgiving.  If you are going, pick a hotel now and book space, you can always cancel it if the date changes.

  • Paul - we received our "Sailor in a Box" in yesterdays mail.  Still no form letter with a division and ship or address; however, hoping that will come over the weekend or early next week so we can send him the half dozen letters I've written in the past four days.  :)
