Tanao,
I'm so HAPPY for you. I had a call from Lee too! (It was the 2nd call) ONLY 38 MORE DAYS!!! It's so good to hear their voice...I see it as an early Christmas gift.

Dawn~Cindy~Greenlo..(Thats all the names I can see so far)
I GOT A PHONE CALL! I GOT A PHONE CALL! I GOT A PHONE CALL!! :) :)
I leave my phone on vibrate at work, and boom (the magic #'s) (847) Bam! I'm out the door of my office, it is storming wind and rain, no coat, running for cover... huddled between the coke machine and the trash can, because I can't hear over the rain and wind hitting the tin roof. AHHHH!! Hi Bud!

Ok I know dramatic and wet soaked to the bone, for another 8 hrs at work, but I don't care...( can you tell, I'm singing this to you all)
He's doing really good, wisdom teeth last week, cavities yesterday but he is doing so much better.

His division has done really well, so they got calls today and store run, I guess they call it? Hell week is next week, and they are ready!!

I finally made reservations for air etc, and he tells me that he will probably be a grad and go.... probably will ship out Sat!

Oh well don't care, My BOY called and I am a happy Navy Mom!!

Hey Laurie,
Well final arrangements are going to be flying into O'Hare then shuttle to NL. I just didn't want to drive. I know you huys are pros coming from NY. The only thing is no shuttle to graduation, thats OK.. I'm within walking distance I suppose. We are leaving about noon on 1/13 on American.

Tanao-We are flying into Midway...you?
nrstami - "The form letter" came about a week after our son left. After the "box". We actually got his address from his recruiter before getting the form letter. Hope this helps!
Anyone with a son on Ship 06 Division 908????

My son left Nov. 25th. I have not received any correspondence yet. How did you get your son's ship and division number? I have no way to know where to send him has letters not to mention his PIR date. Hope to get something soon. Thanks for listening.

Zerbo0427...Thanks. Glad you got a chuckle. I don' think that our boys PIR has been posted yet, but if you go to:
http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp
This site lists all of the PIR dates, it is also where you will be printing your parking pass. I haven't gotten my son's "official" letter yet, so I'm speculating that his PIR will be 1/29/10. Our kids are in the same ship, just different divisions, so it's possible that they will PIR at the same time. Have you gone over to the other group "November Boot Camp Family"? There seems to be a lot more communication in that group now.

My son is on Ship 10 Division 069. His first day was on November 24th. How did you find out his graduation date? Also MHILL I read about your son's post on facebook that you put down and that made me laugh for the first time today. Thank you.

Tanao -- thank you! I wrote in Bob's letter tonight to see if he interacts with Roddy's division at all and would happen to know him. I'll let you know what he says (there'll probably be a 2-3 week delay in response, obviously).

Laura: Thanks for the info, I'm going to trudge the internet today and see what I can find? I'm just on a tight budget, air car hotel, not to say , I'm kind of a lead foot, and snow driving doesn't thrill me... But I've got to go for it!!

Jennifer: YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm so excited for you and even a letter for the baby, that is so cool! When you write Bob back maybe he can check on Roddy, he could use his maturity and guidence. They are both the quiet guys, you know we have been in this since the beginning. If I remember you raised a good question our boys guys will have been there longer than others what will they be doing?

Laurie B: Hey lady, so glad to hear you recieved a call and a letter! The letter that I just got was dated 1/15..just 4 days after they arrived, it was just king of weird that it took 2 weeks? I don't remember were you flying into Chicago or MKE? I know we are staying @ the Navy Lodge on the same days.

BobsWife...congrats on the letters and your husbands successes! Your husband is a week ahead of my son, so I will be watching your posts carefully.
