I am must say that I am stressed beyond measure....my son has done well thru boot camp, but one never knows how the final week will go. This last week feels as emotionally draining as the first week. My body wells up with an overwhelming rush of emotion that I have to either reel back in or when I cant....I cry!!! This is crazyness....someone please tell me that they are the same way...LOL. I am so emotional and feel like I am going nuts!!! I sure do wish that this would hurry up and be done!!!

PoodleLady, that sounds great but there are four of us going. I wonder if the cabs are cars or if some are vans? I guess we will find out Thursday. Sounds like a great plan! Looking forward to meeting you and all the others.

DanaD, have you received a confirmation from Sarge that he will be providing you transportation? I called him and he asked me to send an e-mail which he replied to with information about his services. I replied back with the requested info, but have not received a confirmation of any sort. This was all early last week. Just wondering if I should be concerned or patient . . .

We too will be be flying in on Thurs around 3:50, but unfortunately at O'hare, and staying at a Super 8 in Mundelein. I woulld love to make Sarges Meet and Greet, but not sure if it's too late to RSVP. We will be meeting my other daughter who is flying in from Seattle & not sure of her flight time, so if it works out, I'll be there :)
I had talked to my SR on Wed because she needed a phone number for more of her security clearances & had told me that she had hurt her foot & wasn't able to make the last PFT, and was worried that she might be asmo'ed. She told me that there was a person in her brother div that fell out & so they were going to repeat it today. Fingers crossed and prayers being said that her foot got better & she was able to make the run. I have been panicked all day waiting for the phone call, but non has been made, so I'm hoping that no news is good news. Anyone else have had that experience?
I'm hoping that I will finally get a chance to meet everyone & celebrate all of our children's success and new adventures! SO proud of them!

PoodleLady, I have not received confirmation but I didn't email him about that. I did RSVP to meet and greet but didn't realize we needed to for taxi. I thought we could do that at the meet and greet or find out about the shuttle. I better go back and read more carefully! Uggg! Thanks for the heads up!

DanaD, we need transportation from the airport to the Navy Lodge. That is the confirmation I was referring to . . . My husband does want to drive in the snow as that is something foreign to us! Sarge said to e-mail our flight info to him. I thought you were using him for this too. . Sorry if I have confused you. I haven't heard from him since I sent the info.
I did read we can sign up for the shuttle to PIR at the Meet and Greet on Thursday evening. -

All I can think about right now is "What are our soon to be Sailors doing at this moment!" I was totally useless at work today as I couldn't stay focused . . . my mind kept wondering back to my daughter, Battle Station, PIR, etc. and I have two more days to get through before we fly out of here!
Trying to be patient as I wait for that "I'm a Sailor!" call. Can't wait to hug my daughter! Praying for "tear control" when I see her! -
