Has anyone made reservations yet? Car/Hotel/Airlines? I thought I would have seen more moms on our discussion :-(. I did get a letter last week :-)! Cant wait until this Thursday, seems like from what I have been reading this is going to be our lucky day. My son sounded up beat with the exception he had not received any letters. I believe they have crossed in the mail because I have written him numerous letters. He said he had to cut his letter short because he had to "polish his shoes" and "practice bunk making"! Really..."practice bunk making". Thank you Navy! You have done in 3 weeks what I couldnt do in 25 years! lol. Hope everyone has a great week!

Did you see where other Divisions are getting phone calls! Whats up with that? Maybe our phone call will be today, I read where someone's daughter said she gets to call the 16th and that is today! I'm glad for the families that are receiving the calls. I cried as I read the posts last night :-(! Wondering what it would be like to get that call. Hope you all have a blessed day!
