We just did PIR 7/15/2016 and when he first went in we got the box and my wife was upset that the letter wasn't in there. However, we did get it about a week later. This seems to be the norm. When you watch the video on what happens when they first get there it seems logical that the letter would not be in the box. I know it's difficult to wait but you will get it.

I never received the form letter. It must have gotten lost in the mail. I did receive the box with his clothes and cell phone. By the 4th week I was panicked, but due to privacy issues nobody would give me his address and it was not an emergency. Finally, I did receive a letter from him with a PS Please respond to this letter. My heart sunk thinking everyone else was getting mail, except my son. We set a letter ASAP he graduated July 15th and is in Master At Arm A school in San Antonio. I was thrilled to get that letter and hear all was going great. He did get a few phone calls too, which made us feel so much better too.
