Hey Mac, after he gets to Lackland, ask him which BMTS (basic military training squadron) he got assigned to. I was in 3701st BMTS... in 1967.

Looks like I'll have to wait til we get the mandatory postcard/letter they send to get that info.
Got word that he made it there - at least into TX. They get/have to make a quick call sometime after arriving. We figured he wouldn't be able to call here but would try. The plan B for when plan A failed was to call his Aunt. This morning I got an email from my Ma saying he called her - told her he made it and asked her to let us know - figuring my sister may have been out so he went to next on the list and called Grandma.
That's better than when the other son went in the Corps - no one heard anything until we got the 1st letter almost 2 weeks after he left.
