Hello, I am still looking for anyone with someone on ship 11 Div. 0062. I would like to hear from others as graduation nears it would be nice. We have received one phone call last week and 2 letters so far.

 

Thank you for your time.

I have seen alot of info about where to stay and a few suggestion about to eat but this southern dad needs some scrambled eggs bacon and GRITS every day  so what about breakfast suggestions

Terry- There is a great place in Chicago called Don's Grill and they sell all that good southern cooking. Hope you can make it there.

 

It is on Western Ave. and 18th Street

How far is that from GLS
About 45 min. to an hour.
My son is in Division 62. He sounds very happy when he called. He did say he missed me and loved me. I am looking forward to graduation, but I will not be able to make the meet and greet, because my plane does not get in until 7:30. I was wondering, if my father was welcome as Grandfather of the sailor. I miss my son, but think he has done the best thing for him. I look forward to bringing him homemade treats (I know he can only have them with us), and his Christmas presents (I also know he can not have them).lol. Poor kid. Actually he may be more of a man now. I do hope all is well in the division.
Did you get a call today? Is the division doing well? I heard division 61 isn't doing well.

no, should I have?

Oh it's just that I thought they would call yesterday. And you said "when he called" so I thought he just called you or something. It's so great that you heard back from your son =]

MamaR what time your son called you?

What happen in Div.61?

He has not called me this week. I hope he does soon.
Oh okay. Mine did'nt  call either.  No letters too. Thank you. God Bless.
Hello everyone. My boyfriend is in Div 62. I've received many letters from him and am waiting for him to call again, if he can. I got some letters from him yesterday and it said he was suppose to call last Sunday, but never did. I'm guessing they'll get to call this Sunday. I'm very excited to go to his graduation. It's right around the corner.  :]
