OK - I'm just creeping your site (mine is ship 12 div 225), but you guys sound like you've received real letters, not just the form letters. When did your SR's leave? Mine left the 17th so we were shocked when his PIR was 7/8. We've only received the form letter. Thanks for any info you can give!

Hi MidwestMom,
My son left May 10. They can write on Sundays so I expect a letter on Thurs. each week. So the following week you should get a real letter. That is interesting that your son left the 17th and is still graduating 7/8.

I have also seen SR's that shiped on 5/10 pith a PIR date of 7/1 not sure how this works out, it may have something to do with the "A" school class start dates?

Our son left on the 10th we got the form letter on the 17th. We got the first real letter yesterday the 26th. He needed more stamps and a calling card.

Maybe it does have to do with the A school or what their job is.
