Hi ladies!
Would you like to share what your SRs have enlisted for?
I just sent my SR a handful of letters with some stamps enclosed. I forgot to buy him a phone card earlier, so I just bought one to send off tomorrow. Can they make collect calls to a cell phone if they get phone privileges before they receive a phone card? I've been wondering about a few things like this and how they get envelopes and stamps if they haven't been paid yet? Hopefully things like that won't keep them from getting in touch with us when they can. I really want to hear how things are going.

My son is in this group. Recieved the graduation information Saturday. Are you going? When do we find out what days we can see them? I want to make travel reservations.

Hello
Yes we are going . I think your SR will have that info for you . It depends on if yout SR will go to a A School away or at Great Lakes. Mine will go to Pensacola , so we don't know yet how long he will be on Liberty. I am going to ask him when he get 's to call again . If you book a flight you might want to go with a airline where you can change the dates. In case something happens and they have a different graduation date. Take care =)

Hi Lynne,
We are going, too! I just made reservations today that we are able to cancel, just in case. Hotels are filling up fast because of the holiday, so you may want to make reservations as soon as possible. We probably won't know what days we'll be able to see them until the time comes, so we made reservations for Wed. thru Sat. just in case :D
