Dave if your sending him with a calling card make sure he knows how to use it too. My son couldnt make his first call home during week 2 because he didnt know how to use it. Finally week 3 someone helped him and he was able to call home.

Dave, nothing I can say will ease the pain you & your wife will experience. We were literally grieving until we got Phillip's first letter. It was really just a couple of lines, but it meant the world to us. Losing all contact for a week and a half is frustrating beyond belief. Phillip texted us while he was at MEPS, on bus to the airport, when he landed and on the bus ride to RTC. It gave me plenty of time to let him know he is deeply loved. It helped me to know he was very excited every step of the way. Hang in there Dave. His letter home will come soon.

Have him call your phone and leave you a voicemail before he leaves. Then you can hear his voice whenever you want. I wish I had done that.

What a great day after Thanksgiving! I received Phillip's first "letter" which provides his mailing address and a one-lined note from him. The rest of it is a form letter from the NAVY that tells families what I already learned from you parents who have posted previously. I also know his Division and his ship. Now I need a PIR date. But at least I can rest better, knowing he loves it so far. From the day he arrived in GL (19Nov) until his letter arrived, it is 9 days. His box arrived 5 days after he left. Hope this helps those parents whose kids are following Phillip's division.
