053 and 054 would have gone together - that and something someone posted said they don't go on Friday or Saturday night because of the captain’s cup - so you should get to hear from him today!

I am hoping they do. My son has only called the girlfriend twice and he didn't mention anything in my letters. I feel sick to my stomach.

I don't think they got many phone priviledges.... from what I've seen on here and heard in my letters. Don't feel sick, "No news is GOOD NEWS!!! Remember, they call right away if anything is delaying their graduation... If anything were wrong you would know!
That being said, I have butterflies :) Can't wait and I should have taken the day off work because I'm finding it hard to concentrate.

No call yet. I'd be better off not knowing when they would call and then i could be very excited and surprised. Now i am on pins and needles because the call "might" come today. Regardless of phone calls or lack there of, i am glad that next Friday we will be hanging out with our sailors in person!
