Oh diannep! That was great! I just rented our car today, so I'm imagining the driving around and all that. Can barely stand the wait!!! And you know it's so funny that you were waiting like that in the stands, because that's EXACTLY what I was thinking we would do. Guess I'd better rethink!

Ok....so....77 should be calling first....then 78.....79.....80! Calls should start in the next 2 hours or so and go for a good while with 4 divisions. Be sure to ask your new sailor if all in his/her division passed. Post that. He/she will probably not know about the other divisions, just their own. This is an exciting day! Remember, some may have watch and miss their calls :-( Let's hope no one on here!
Just think...the 2/11 group just concluded PIR a little while ago....sigh....their sailors are in their arms! Can you imagine that? This time next week...yep, there you are! As much as you think you know what it will be like, you don't....it is so much more wonderful. I remember trembling I was so excited...I had to calm it down for my son...he would have thought I was ridiculous...but I have to say, when we finally found him after PIR...yes, couldn't find him....it was so good to see his face again! I hadn't spotted him during PIR at all...
We decided to be "smart"...we thought...and stayed in the bleachers as the "herd" stampeded the hall floor when liberty was called. Almost got trampled as they tried to get by us....so we waited....thinking that he would see just us standing in the bleachers....and we waited....and waited....nothing...so we meandered into the masses on the floor...and eventually found him casually talking to some other sailors. WHAT? He just casually said, "Oh, hi...how ya doing?" What the heck? He had not seen us during the entire ceremony...said he looked straight ahead the whole time...so I guess he wasn't sure we were there? I don't know....but he was like a deer in headlights as we rode the shuttle back. I asked why he looked like that. He said, "Mom, we have not been off this base, outside these gates in almost 11 weeks (his was longer because of being asmoed for a week and then the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years holidays caused delays)....it feels so good to get out and just look at things!" HA! So that is what we did....off to Cracker Barrel for lunch, then just drove around the beautiful area (snow was so pretty)....and ended up in a school pickup line on a small residential street...hysterical because we couldn't get out of it right away...well, I thought it was funny...my 2 sons (25 and 23(sailor)) were not so thrilled!
Anyway, sorry to ramble...but I'm getting excited for you all because I know what is ahead for you....the I'm a Sailor call is the start of it...and it gets better and better! HOOYAH!

My thoughts and prayers and teary eyes are with each of you getting, and waiting to get, your calls. We shouldn't expect to get ours until next Tues., but I am with each of you right now. I can't go long without checking the site and seeing who else got "the call!" Good luck and God be with each of you, and your Sailors! I look forward to celebrating next Friday at PIR with everyone!!!

This is what the Bobster told me yesterday when he called around 4:45 EST. After the capping ceremony they went to chow hall and then back to their bunks. Since they didn't have permission to lay down in their bunks they all decided to sleep on the floor. He said the next thing he knew they were waking them up to make their calls home. He was still exhausted, but you could hear the pride in his voice.

I am so teary-eyed this morning! I'm really excited but sooo emotionally. I feel like an idiot. But I've got my "proud navy mom" t-shirt on and my "Blue Star Banner" ready to hang right under the American Flag in my room. (I have one for home too). All I need now is "The Call."
