Is this unusual?

[Aurora]

DB left for bootcamp a week ago and he never called his parents to say he was there. I had heard he got to call and say I'm here safe really quick and it even says that on the website. Is it unusual that he hasn't?

We were told he would be able to call as soon as he got to boot camp to let someone know he was there safe and sound. I think it took 1-2 weeks to actually get that 1 min call. So yeah, it's not unusual. I hope someone hears from him soon!

I think it's up to the RDC.

they are supposed to call when they get there just to let the family know they are safe. but no real calls until the RDC decides

no DH didnt call. the entire time he was in boot. just letters

I'll be sure to pass it along. They are pretty clueless as to the military life and I tried to say it probably wasn't a big deal but they think he is going to be able to do whatever/whenever still...or at least his mom does. Thanks for the answers!

his parents will probably get a letter soon. I know when DH first got there they made them write to their parents giving the address, but they couldnt call. Where is he at basic at?

Great Lakes...he is in the Navy

No news = good news.

If something bad did happen they would have already let you know.

So don't worry! He's busy getting his butt beat by exhaustion and hunger - he's fine!!

Ditto. While it is the norm for a very brief call to be placed on arrival it doesn't always happen. However, if there were a problem or cause for concern his parents would have been contacted.
