JustforMe NJ- awe thanks !!!!
28 DAYS!!
Hey everyone. How are you all doing? Did you make PIR plans? What is everyone doing for Liberty and where are you staying? I decided to stay at SpringHill Suites in Waukegan. I have stayed there before and is really nice. I am sure my son will want to go to the Gurnee Mills Mall. he wants to go on his own plan and get a smartphone before leaving to FL. And he said he wants to go out to a good dinner. Can't wait. Tomorrow is letter day!!
Any exciting news from your SR? Sounds like this division is doing pretty good.
vonvon- I heard that hotel is nice!
awe that is so sweet. How old is his younger sister? My SR and his younger sister are 6 years apart and they too fought terribly and picked on each other. You should hear their nicknames for each other. Oh boy! He admits how much he misses his "lil sis".
Awesome! I have a 2 bed suite with full kithchen was hoping there was somewhere close to shop at. I am getting so anxious for the day to come, I know everyone else is too!
That IS funny!!! ... Well, we know they are "healthy" young men!!
My son has not been very forthcoming with information. Does any one from division 349 know what they've been doing?? I guess I expected that by now he'd be excited about some of the training eg: firefighting, weapons, ... According to his letter the only thing they've done is "learn how to tie a ship to the pier". I'm sure they done more than that ... he has a tendency to exaggerate sometimes.
