theresa-Im so sorry to hear you are having problems too!! I really hope everything works out for you!
just got off the phone with the rental car co... they wont take my moms card or my temp card!
I can only hope that my new card comes in time.
Kimber...Thank you!! I have three other adults and a grandbaby but I'm not sure who will join me for the Meet and Greet. I've been the only one on N4Moms throughout this whole ordeal. If it weren't for you all and the Naval Training FB page, I wouldn't have a hair left on my head! lol..Oh, what is the dress for the night? Casual or dressy? And do I need to pick up something to bring as far as food? Maybe I should say....is there a post that explains all this so you don't have to go over it again? I'm rambling..lol...I'm so nervous and excited! You'd think I was three days away from giving birth to my recruit again! :)
Hey all what do you all think of saying a blessing at the meet n greet for our new sailors and their families )US). I am not a speaker but perhaps someone is ??
Carly Ray I was the one who said somthing about having an extra seat, but now I too am having a hard time with the deposit that is going to be required for me to rent...arrrggggh it is always somthing. If I get this worked out You are welcome with me. Originally I had planned on my brother picking me up at the airport and us coming to graduation together but alas I am on my own due to some urgent personal buisness, he must attend to.
We fly out on Mon. at 10 am.
Why is the countdown clock so slow....Oh it's just my impatience...lol.
We leave on Thursday for Midway airport, staying at the LaQuinta, departing on Saturday, our son is also leaving for Pensacola on Saturday.
Congrats to Ship 12, Div 036, and all other sailors/shipmates 1-07-2011
The reason I asked for prayers the other day was because I lost my debit/credit card on new years eve. I have my rental car reserved on that card. The bank gave me a temp one to use but it doesnt have my name on it so the rental place cannot use it. I do not have another card to use. I am calling them today with my "mom" to see if they can run her card over the phone. THIS COULDNT HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORSE TIME!! Murpheys law though right!!
If the rental car co wont take her card is anyone flying into milwaukee on thursday after 2pm?! Or leaving from there on monday anytime?!
