YES! I got a call about 5 minutes ago as well! I had to force myself to stop talking (yes, I was excited) and let him tell me how he's really doing. He said the food was really good and that he is doing just fine. He sounded like he likes boot camp. I am excited for him. He said he had the job of opening and standing at the doors, to assist the higher-ups -- so I won't see much of him at graduation, only when they first march in.

I also got a call home! Usually he is not a talker, but wow did he do some talkin this time! It was fantastic, Mine said the same thing Lynn, that the food was good, they got in trouble Christmas and that is why they couldn't call, but overall they are doing better as a division. My son said he will be standing the doors as well and then they have to go into a room and stand. I do not understand that? Why can they not be a part of the whole graduation? I have to do some more asking about that! Overall, he said he is good, food is good, and they are getting their mail!! Yea!
I am not sure where I am going to be staying out there, but, will be making arrangements soon, and will let you know! -

Hi Annie, we just made reservations at SpringHill Swuites Chicago Waukegan/Gurnee online. If there are 10 divisions and there are about 80-88 SRs in each and every family has somewhere between four and eight people coming---- the rooms might go fast. I[m thinking about 2500 rooms will be reserved for graduation. Either way, I hope we all get a chance to meet up with each other.

Hi Lynn,
I made my hotel reservations at motel 6. I can't afford the expensive places. I am paying for my daughter and son-in-law to come out as well. I am sure we will meet up though.
