Ship 02 Div 937
June 6
My son is in Division 937 and I am already so excited to attend PIR. Has anyone made their hotel reservations yet or am I the only one so anxious she did it BEFORE receiving the official letter?
So far I've only received the "I got here call" and "the box." Reminded me of birth -- naked they came into civilian life and naked they left it for the Navy :)
What a journey we are all on together!

Got our flight, and we dont arrive in Chi till 8;30 PM at midway, we are debating on staying near the airport that night and then driving early in the am or staying close to the RTC it is an hour and a half drive. and I will have my 7 year old who is austic and not a fan of change, so we have been talking daily about the airplane and such.
Anyone else get any calls lately? I only got the one, but my phone has been glued to my side, I also know they are getting ready for Battle Stations o that may be it too. Ugh so close and yet so far.

Hi All,
I had originally booked rooms at the Comfort Inn but moved my reservation to the Ramada instead. I just cancelled 2 rooms from 7/25 to 7/30 at the Comfort Inn if anyone is looking for rooms.

We got one letter last Tuesday (July 10) and nothing since. We haven't had a call in a couple weeks. It is SO close!
That reminds me, I have to print our parking pass! -
