Our son left Raleigh on Jan 29th going to Benning. Last we heard from him was that night and he was stuck in the Atlanta airport waiting on a bus that was an hour late. How long did it take you to get that first call? I know they have to be in reception for a few days, but from what we read on the Benning website the new arrivals should call home within 24-48 hours just to let you know they have arrived ok. Thanks for the help!
if his phone wasn`t dead you should have got a call that night but they do get phone calls tomorrow at about 7 pm and he will be able to send you letter but you want be able to send him any back until he get in BCT and that can take up to a week....let me know if you need more help
thanks i done got like three phone calls and like five letter btw go on facebook and try in find him because thats what i did you can even as some company and they will tell you everything will i say delta do it so far but my fiance not with them doe...let me know and if i can i will help you look if you want me to ;)
my boyfriend is either in alpha or bravo and I haven't heard anything and i just thought that maybe it was because they were more strict or something :/ and what pages are you talking about?
okay I was looking on facebook and I found alpha troop and i found a picture and it looks like him but its from the back and its very slightly blurry, but i think it is him...but even then, I dont know why i wouldnt have any of his info....do you live close to georgia? maybe it just takes longer for letters to get to me because i live further away? or maybe he is in a diff platoon?
yea i stay an Albany which is like a hour away from ft benning..and i though the same when it came to Robert ugh cant wait until i get a good pic of him ;) btw is he send the packet with all the info to you or his mama?
I have no idea! He lives with me now, but I don't know if it gets sent to his home address automatically...he moved really quick before he left just so he would know that all of his stuff was still there for him when he came back (family issues), so idk where it would get sent too! :(
if you don't mind me asking when did he last call you because they spent a week reception like i said before but do you know what date he had to be there and i can help you figure out which company he end by using this website below
thats why i am so confused! because no one on here went in the same day that he did...he went in on the 7th of January, I dropped him off at the base and they left for georgia that day and in his letter he wrote that he was done with reception the 10th (he could have been mistaken maybe, idk) and I got a call from him on the 19th..but it was only like 30 seconds.
and i looked at that thing, and none are the day that he started on, and he is supposed to be done in may (with basic and ait) so i thought they were a combined graduation?
ok if he went on the 7 that mean he didn`t start bct until the 18 that why you got a call on the 19 for like 30 sec i got the same from mine just a diffrent day so if i`m not mistaking check his RN should be 350 F/1-50 which me he begin 18-Jan-13 and his grad date is 26-Apr-13 btw look on facebook for it
he told me that he was going to graduate in may and idk his RN, it wasnt in his return address, but i did find a pic of him getting yelled at on the facebook page! lol
he is in alpha, I was just confused at the whole timeline...because I dropped him off on the 7th and then I tried to figure out on my own how long things would take because I can't talk to him obviously lol And I thought that he would have gotten there earlier, but he didn't, i dont know, my timeline was off haha And I was confused with how the troops are within something within the company or something, idk! haha But I am hoping that I have it now lol
yeah, the one I got was from the 18th lol but I got it today lol and i think that my bf is in 1-81 but i found his picture on facebook in 5-15...i dont know why...thats something that confused me lol
i know i was like stamp when smh.....my mail man don`t like me doe he always write on my letter well on the back of them and i be like okay rudeness...
he been since the 15 of this month he had to got thur reception which was all the way until the 24 then i got a call and a letter saying on the 25 he began BCT
my bf got there the 7th, and he wrote me on the 10th saying that he was done with reception and i got a call like a week later and i ended up getting the letter after i got the call, but thats it! :(
