Comment by diannep on April 6, 2011 at 9:28pm: LoveHim: There is a shuttle from the Airport www.airportexpress.com

But I think it too is a bit pricey. Some of you may want to call "Sarge" who is great to Navy families in supplying transportation. Here's his number: 847-212-0246

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2011 at 9:25pm: ASMOED means setback. They can be moved out of their division for many reasons: failing a test, illness, injury, discipline, etc...most eventually join another division in another PIR group...that is at the same point of training that the SR stopped at when removed from the first division.

Comment by annamichael on April 6, 2011 at 8:03pm: Hahaha. They'd be lost without us (:

Comment by CDanielleR on April 6, 2011 at 8:02pm: @anna: Oh no I wasn't suggesting you switch backpacks. I was just putting more info out for those that are also looking for black backpacks. I actually like the one you found better. But if my bf doesn't like this backpack he can buy himself another one. LOL!

Comment by annamichael on April 6, 2011 at 7:54pm: too true! I've been home sick ALL week from work (I'm a K teacher... wonder how I got sick?? haha). All I have done is go back and forth, N4Ms and FB. haha Well, you know that. :)

Comment by janlee on April 6, 2011 at 7:52pm: lol...i hear ya...i honestly have no idea how parents/GF's/wives do it without seeking any advice from these sites. They must go into this whole thing totally blind (but totally stress free...lol) haha!

Comment by annamichael on April 6, 2011 at 7:37pm: whew! thank you! I had no idea the past 6 hours was going to revolve around a black backpack. So many rules! So much to get used to. :)

Comment by janlee on April 6, 2011 at 7:32pm: anna---ive seen on RTC FB page...that as long as its all black (no colored logos of colored trim, etc) that its fine...:))

Comment by annamichael on April 6, 2011 at 7:28pm: Hahhaa, Dawn. We are renting a car :)

CDanielle, I already bought the LL Bean one.. Do you think it will be an issue that it does say LL Bean, but it's written in black?? Now, you've got me worried and wishin' I had waited... eek! :\
