My DS also said they would find out in November.

I did give DS all the stamps we had, and he took envelopes and paper. But he's not the best communicator, so I shouldn't be surprised. I was hesitant to send treats though, because when our other DS was at BCT, it wasn't encouraged, because they would get taken from him and others would eat...

We unfortunately did not get a call. I'm still hoping for a letter though!

Yay! Thank you! I'm installing it right now!

Our DSs may be at different schools, but we are all cadet moms! (and dads) :thumb:

Haha don't feel bad! We VMI moms do it all the time! :shake:
