If you need help with finding the right kind of calling card feel free to PM me.

I've been hearing rumors of that as well. As for actually calling them, my parents have a US VOIP number, so international calling isn't a problem.

I suppose it's a good idea to wish for a chistmas miracle? 😂

Have your parents check this web site for your graduation date...RTC posts the upcoming dates...so as soon as you get there have them start checking...that way you will know for sure! This also will give them an idea on who the day will go and how many guests you are allowed...When you get there you will know your division number so they can look to see when your graduation is...you can always call them to let them know faster, but I remember getting a letter from RTC with all the info a about 2 weeks in to my sons bootcamp.

Our letter actually came in only a week - in August of this year. I think 10 days is average right now. But that was to a US address, not overseas. Is there someone you can send the letter to in the US that can call your parents to relay the information about your division and graduation date? That may be the quickest route.
