Ok so my boyfriend left for bootcamp yesterday. He called me while he was at Meps hotel and told me they don't actually get to RTC until today. Well he said they get a phone to call their parents to let them know they made it safely. My question is will he know his division and ship number to be able to tell to his mom during that call so we can know his address? and during PIR..they told him he would only get 4 tickets..which leaves me out of the loop. He said he still wants me to come because they get liberty that day also. My 2nd question is will i be able to get in the PIR to wait until its over so i can see him when he comes out or will it just be a complete waste of time going because it probably wont be possible to see him since i dont have a ticket ? Someone please help me!:confused

When he gets to boot he won't have an address yet. that phone call is just an I am alive and made it here safe. It takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to get an address from him.
As for his PIR they get 4 tickets that are guaranteed seats, after that it is first come first serve, however if you can't attend PIR you can still see him when he has liberty. Usually they will get 2 out of the 3 days of liberty so I would def go if you can.

My boyfriend left yesterday and is arriving today too! He just called me from the airplane to let me know that he landed safely. Maybe our boys are together!!

Your so lucky you got a call from the plane! Maybe they are. We should keep in touch to see if they are!
