Our son Caleb left on the 23rd but we only live a about five hours from Great Lakes. He had never gotten to make his original call to tell us he was there so he finally got to make one fifteen second call to us this last Saturday. He told us his ship and division # and grad date then.

Isn't it wonderful to even get that form letter? Those three sentences of their own at the bottom are so exciting! Our son basically said that he's bald and likes to eat. Hm hasn't moved too far from when he first came into our lives 19.5 years ago!

All I know is , he says he's eating well..........lol There's not too many from Div 176 on here is there? Has anyone made reservations yet for the May 20th PIR? From OHIO, everybody else?

Thanks for your response. At least I know that it's just not me. They say that no news is good news but it torture not knowing what's going on. We are from Jacksonville, FL.

Hello. I just checked my mail box after coming in from work and no letter yet! I re-read the form letter sentences, but want more. I did get our reservations for May 20th and we are staying at the Hawthorn Suites in Gurnee/Waukegan. We will have our son's fiance' staying in with us so thought the bedroom separate might make us all more comfortable. There rate online was like 82 dollars a night but when I called and asked about a discount for being family of a graduating sailor we received the rooms for 79 dollars a night plus a ride on their shuttle to the graduation and back. Not a huge savings, but I wasn't looking forward to driving and parking. Also we were able to get the suite so that the bedroom is separate from the living area where there is a pullout mattress for her. I hate it that you don't even know when you make the reservations whether your child is grad and go or gets the Cinderella liberty that weekend. So I made reservations for multiple nights and pray he gets to hang out with us some days. And we live in Illinois!
