Hi Katie,

This is Debbie. I checked on the Ft. Benning website under graduation dates and they showed that there was no BCT that started on the 10th. It showed the 4th (when Kyle started) and the next start date was the 18th--today! Did you get a letter today? If not, I was wondering if they held your son's group and started him today. Which would put his tenative graduation date as the 20th of Nov.

Have you looked at that site?

Debbie

I'm not a mom of a bct person, just a friend, They got started late and today I was told that they started basic training. They will get their address today to send home to their families.

Tonya, Andria and Katie,

Do you have your sons platoon and company yet? Maybe they're all together in the same platoon.


DownerDuo,
What is your sons platoon and Co.?

Hi Debbie - I apologize for the delayed response - we were without internet for a bit (right after my husband installed some fabulous new program - coincidence? I think no! Mad) Anyway - I don't know what all this means, but my son's address says BD Co. 1-329th INF RGT. Oh and Debbie, I still can't figure out what website you are looking at and where. I'm so lost. Confused

I added call forwarding to my home phone and I forward it to my cell whenever I step out of the house. Also, I never used to keep my cell phone on, but now it's on all the time, just in case. Amazing how it changes our habits!

My son Jameson is also at Ft. Benning and heading to Ft. Sam for medic training after he graduates (on Nov. 6).

BTW - This is my first post here. Been writing letters to my son whom I haven't heard from other than the one 2-minute phone call. I don't have his roster number so I am hoping my letters will get to him okay.

Hi Katie - I'm Roni.
I just got another letter from my son today. Big Grin He says he started basic on 9/11 and graduation will be in mid November. If my calculations are correct I am guessing the 13th. I have not received the "official" letter from the DS. Have you? My son sent his address. It is different from what the girlfriend gave us so now I'm confused and I doubt the first letters I sent him will get to him. Frown
Maybe we can compare addresses.
Roni

Hi Roni, I just got my first lettet last friday the 19th. I never thought I'd get it.. and shawn did call that night but I missed his call.(that will never happen again) he did leave a message asking if i got his letters. and the letter for graduation. family day is on the 12th and grad. the 13th of nov. so dont worry you'll be getting your letter verry soon. hang in there, I know how you feel..katie

Katie,
SO good to find someone with a son in the same company (or platoon or squad or whatever I am supposed to call it). Did you get the "official" letter from the DS? When did you receive it?
