I know right; I've been in a cheery mood ever since I got it! That makes sense, I was wondering why my guy sounded so off. Sick and tired I guess! :( Well at least they get free medical. That's what I hate most though, by the time you get their letters it's already been a week! :( haha

My son said the same thing about getting E2 and that they have a pretty good group. But he didn't mention the dog tags and getting fitted for uniforms, or the classification. What is the classification?

Hubbys rate is like AV and it breaks up into AO, AT, or AE. Depending on his test scores decides which one he gets classified as =) They also made their wish list for stations theyd like to be at

I received a letter from the boyfriend on Wednesday. I was so happy to receive a phone call and then a letter the following day. He said they got their dog tags and were being fitted for their uniforms. He's made good friends with his bunkmate who is also going across the street to A-School. He said that the division is great but there are those few kids who act up and get them all in trouble. He said he's doing his best to just stay quiet and do his job.
I can't believe we get to see our guys THIS month! WooHoo!

So I was thinking girls, we should all figure out a way that we can meet each other at graduation! I mean, were spending so much time bonding over all this now, why not actually put a name to a face in GL. What do y'all think?

That sounds like a good idea. :)

I'm willing.

So like how should we identify each other while we're there? Or maybe we could all meet up before at the hotel? Which hotels are y'all planning on staying at? I'm still deciding between the Residence Inn and the Meriott Courtyard(I think that's what it is called). If a bunch of us are staying at the same hotel we could all meet at breakfast before we left for the graduation?

I had reservations for the Red Carpet Inn which is just a mile of base but after reading some bad reviews I called and cancelled them! Time to find a new hotel! Im thinking of just staying at the Navy Lodge unless I find somewhere else decent close by! I only get friday after graduation with hubby so dont really want to drive =/
