I was told to email jon's recruiter to see if he is graduating or not. I emailed him on Saturday and i still haven't heard back. I'm pretty pissed at the Army right now. It would be wonderful to know if Jon is graduating or not! You would think they would have answered by now and that Jon would be able to call. No one here knows squat and grrrr! It makes me mad! :banghead

:hugs

Once they go off to basic, from what I've heard, the recruiters don't really know much about what's going on with them.

We are Navy though so I may be completely wrong about Army.

The army is the same way, when dh was in basic, his recruiter knew nothing. I had to wait for a call, eventually they do let them call. I also got a lot of snail mail letters, so I kinda knew what was going on. Good luck, I hope you hear something soon.:hugs

he could've at least emailed her back and said i don't know

ugh not knowing is the worst!! i am hoping you get a call soon or at least a letter in the mail from your db so you know whats going on!! hang in there girly! :) :hugs

wouldn't the Army at least inform his parents? they send a letter to let parents or wives know info about the graduation.

It's not the Army's responsibility to inform parents or wives. It's the soldier's responsibility.

I'm sorry he hasn't written you... I hope you hear from him soon.

Also I hope you hear from him soon!! Sorry I have about fifteen things going on right now at once!! :hugs

that's partly what I meant. ex DB gave his mom's address when he got there, so thats where the letter with info about grad was sent to at the end.

You can call up and try and figure it out yourself. Just find the number to the base and start asking questions.

BUT- They will give him a chance to let you know if he is or isnt. They will give him that chance to tell his famil.y

I'm sorry. I'm the one that suggested it. Johns recruiter was realllly helpful and he said if he didnt know something then he would find out. His parents got sent a letter from BT and it had contact info on it but apparently the people at Jackson are being douche nozzles and need to friggin give him a chance to call if they cant be of assistance. I am really sorry please forgive me

That really sucks, I hope he contacts you soon.

Usually they send out the paper work at the end so you know when and where it is going on.

dh gave my address info to jackson instead of his mom, he knew she wouldn't tell me otherwise. I got an official pckg from his command w/ window sticker, letter, directions, etc. I was nice and copied everything for her.

Oh honey....it's ok. I'm just stressed out now...i don't blame you! Thanks for being a help!:hugs

His parents don't even know...He called them 2 weeks ago and that's the last we've heard from him. I got 2 letters since then but he didn't mention graduation.

I'm so sorry sweetie. I think you are having the worst time with the Army...according to the other threads I've seen you post. I hope you get a call soon! :)

that sucks. recruiters don't usually know necessarily what's going on and the mil is very reluctant to give info to people who aren't spouses or next of kin

good luck

hope you hear from him soon.

:yes

And you might as well loose the recruiters email, you will never have to deal with him/her again. Their job ends when they are on that bus :lol They dont keep "tabs" on their recruits.

Good luck, sounds like he is making his time at bootcamp hard on YOU!

ask him in a letter, and keep asking until he tell you lol..that's what I did with my DH..finally he gave up the info in a letter.

while my Dh was in bootcamp....his recruiter found everything out through me and DH mom. but my dh is in the navy. he also got to call a week before he graded out...to let us know. i hope everything works out and figure something out.

I'll just go ahead and say it -- the fact of the matter is that most recruiters are so busy there are times they don't even see their own children for entire weeks so, as harsh as this may sound, replying to a girlfriend's e-mail is not at the top of their list. For that matter he may not have even READ your e-mail yet. Checking e-mails, like returning calls to those that are not prospective applicants, goes to the bottom of the list of things to do. I know that you only have one recruit to worry about but you have to remember that the recruiter has an entire pool of current enlistees, potential appicants, his command, his own family and a myriad of others to worry about /deal with in the course of his day. Sometimes things get prioritized and not necessarily in the order others think they should be.
I am not saying the recruiter can't or shouldn't get this information for you (they can and will) but only that you might have to be a bit more patient to get the info.

ETA - I feel like a dumbass now as I only just noticed the dates on the original posting. Sorry, didn't even look at the dates until after I had posted my response.

i recieved info on mines graduating dates and family day also he got to call i hope everything works out for you and he calls to let you know soon
