They aren't allowed to write right away, and when they are, it is on Sundays only.  Three weeks is about the correct time frame to get letters, almost there!

You should get a phone call around week 3 ....maybe this weekend and you should start getting letters don't beat yourself up about it No News is Good News and that's really true and it doesn't matter where they are boot camp, deployment or on a base.....You don't want to hear from him..... Look for the 847 area code Good luck to you and to him...

It look like your son's PIR date will be PIR: 4/12/2013  click on this and click +JOIN when the page opens up. You'll be in a group with other members with the same PIR date. It sounds like you don't have your FORM letter yet. Be sure to save it when you get that.  Do this ASAP.  You'll be in good company.

Here's a list of upcoming PIR dates. I've included other dates as well for those who read (but don't comment) and are looking for their sons/daughters PIR groups.

                   PIR: 4/19/2013             TG 23 (to be updated)

                   PIR: 4/12/2013             TG 22 (to be updated)

                   PIR: 4/05/2013             TG 21 - 10 Divisions (135-142, 808 and 921)

                   PIR: 3/29/2013             TG 20 - 6 Divisions (131-134, 807 & 920)

                   PIR: 3/22/2013             TG 19 - 11 Divisions (121-130 and 919)

                   PIR: 3/15/2013             TG 18 - 9 Divisions (113-120 and 918)

Join the group, PIR 04/12/2013 TG 22, to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  Know that Divisions 143 and 144 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups.

He may have been able to write for the first time on Sunday, but it could be that Sunday will be the first time.  See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit for more on that. Phone Cards and Phone Calls will tell you more about phone calls.

(Group names within this reply are clickable links.  To join a group, click on the group name and after the group page opens, click on “+ Join...” in the upper right.)
