Hello Ladies,
Has anyone thought of a way to recognize each other at the meet and greet? I've been looking at a few other message boards and different divisions are doing different things like ribbons, etc. I would love to know how I could recognize all the wonderful moms/wives/family members of other recruits from our group.
My son will also be staying in GL to attend A school, so nice to "meet" all of you!

Has anyone booked their hotel yet? If so, where? I'm looking for a suite that also offers shuttle service...

Finally got my hotel room booked!!! We'll be at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Waukegan.......rates were really reasonable for 2 Queens and they offer breakfast and a shuttle to the base. Everywhere I checked was getting full (at least that's what they told me!) so don't delay ~~~ I never book this early, but was afraid not to :)
Can't wait to meet all y'all!

I found this great site that will send you codes for free phone calls :) Hope you find this helpful, I just sent Kyle some today!
You can get free calling cards (actually a phone number and PIN) at http://callsforrecruits.org/. Recruit Man - Ronny provides those through that website if you email him at CallsforRecruits@gmail.com and ask for them. He will email you 6 to 8 numbers good for 20 minutes of calling time each, but he will send more if you need them. Each PIN that is provided is a onetime use number.

I received 2 letters today from my SR. He just wants letters, letters and more letters. He says it's what he's imagine prison is like. He can't wait to graduate. He misses home and is also having a little fun. He said he'll do his best to make it out of there alive and well then he added the LOL at the end.
