Congrats Marco...you must be excited and we know you will be so proud.  My son will start boot camp the week your son has his PIR so i'm trying to learn as much as possible upfront.  I'll be following your story and learn from you.  What date did he start boot camp?

Hey John... He flew to Chicago on 6/23. We said our good byes when we dropped him off at the recruiter on the 22nd. We received the 30 second "I am here call" shortly after midnight of the day he left. The box and form letter followed a week later and here we are, almost two weeks gone. I'm counting the days until I see him at graduation. Happy 4th!

My son Jesse is in the same Division. Can't wait for the 19th. Just got our first real letter today. It was good to finally hear from him. I hope he can call soon.

Brian was never one to write too much, but I really hope he'll change his ways and send us a letter soon. We sent him some letters last week and can't wait to hear from him to find out how he's doing. The 19th is getting closer... Counting the days!

My son Anthony is in same division. Got our first real  letter last week. He said they had 10 to 15 minutes to eat andthat was enough time. I was in boot camp in San Diego in 81' and to start we may have got 5 min. to eat.

Hey Marco, our son Alex is also in Ship 10, Div 265.  We actually got a phone call a few days ago and several letters now.  He tells me that boot camp is easy and boring, it's a different story that he tells his mother though.  Of course I know he's gotta show he's tough for his Air Force dad.  I just want all to know how proud of him I am as I'm sure you are proud of your son too.  This experience will deffinately make them mature, that is for sure.

Jeff, we're still waiting for some real contact. I expect that we'll get something this week. Funny how your son says it's boring, when boot camp is everything but dull. Guess they'll tell us what really went on when we see them at PIR turned into sailors. Can't wait!

One week away. So excited that PIR is almost here. In his last letter he tells me that the hardest thing for him was the physical training. Like a typical young man, he didn't listen to his recruiter and to me when we told him to take advantage of the months that he was in DEP to prepare. Luckily, he has sucked it in and overcome and is doing very well now. The boys got together and are getting it done. We look forward to seeing him!

please do NOT be more specific about Battle Stations...RTC considers posting schedule info for BS21 an OPSEC violation since it places sailors at a specific location at a specific time.....and THAT is a no-no
