He called!! I hope everyone else is hearing from their child too. I am on cloud nine. It was so good to hear his voice. My husband and I prayed immediately after hanging up with him. We wanted to thank God for walking with him and keeping him strong. I told him about this website. He sounds different already and we are so proud of him! Hang in there everybody!

Hi Everyone... My daughter Angela is in Division 362 as well!.
I have a question for all of you... Have any of your placed an announcement in the newspaper about your son or daughter? I was thinking about doing so but didn't know if I should do it now or after PIR. Thoughts?
Also, what verbage do you place in an announcement of that nature.
I was so disappointed to miss my daughters call this past Sunday and have been sick over it this whole week. And still no letters have come, though her message on Sunday said she wrote them. I am so hoping they get an opportunity to make a call this weekend. I have every phone at my side ready to get the call!
Thank you all for sharing your conversations with all of us here!! From each of your conversations, I hear more and more about all of our children and what they are up to in their Division!! -

Hello biegorleec. My daughter, Heather, is in Ship 07 DIV 362. Your idea about 'an announcement in the newspaper' is grand, expecially hometown papers. FIrst, I suggest phoning an Editor for specifics. "Letters to the Editor" are free.
I am so sorry to hear that you missed Angela's call. She'll call again.
I haven't heard anything about what our children are up to. Sure, I spoke to Heather last Sunday. She said most of the first two weeks was book learning and she was going to begin physical work Monday, meaning this past Monday. -

Hello Everyone! I hope we get calls tomorrow! My son said they did say something about his wisdom teeth coming out. I hope that doesn't happen. He said some have already had theirs taken out. I don't think he realizes how painful it is. I just focused on happy feelings during the call.

Could I get details about this 'meet and greet' please? Somethng was written abou "Anastasia's." Is that a restaurant? As I have a very bad sense of direction, my driving worsens!!! Address, city, time, what and who to look for, etc. would be kind, think you. I really, really hope to get my and my husband's flight schedules into Milwaukee tomorrow, Sunday, after Church. I've read that Milwaukee is the easiest. However, I really didn't want to have to rent a car. Bother. And I still have not scheduled a hotel room. It's all on my 'list of things to do.' Yikes!!

Andrea we will be giving out all that information. Anastasias is across the street from many hotels such as Candlewood, Springhill, and several others. We chose that as opposed to the Ramada because the reports about the Ramada have been so bad lately. Get those reservations made...with 13 divisions...rooms are going fast!!

Hi TwinBMom! Good Monday Morning! I'm hanging in there along with hubby. No phone call Sunday. I become concerned. I have important things to discuss with our sailor, concerning her job, so I am a bit anxious. I'm in the failth of Let go, Let God. There is nothing I can do. Also anxious about flight scheduling into Milwaukee. That airport is 55 miles from NAVSTA. Also, am wondering about this proposed idea re: making a flag for our kids' division (?). How is this to be used? I don't get it. There's more. I'll be back.....

"Let go, Let God" pretty much sums up my outlook on life. Once my son walked out that door, I felt the anxiety of having absolutely no control. Then I had to remind myself that my husband was blessed when he was in the navy and my son will be watched over too. We're flying into O'Hare. We should be able to take a cab to get around. I really don't want us driving around Chicago. I'm so glad to hear about the calls! I hope to have the same report soon. I'm off to write more letters!
