Comment by J-RockyMtn on July 13, 2012 at 4:45pm: Does anyone know where we get the BS date for Div 223?

Comment by Paige on July 13, 2012 at 4:40pm: momofdrew; thank you for the update on the gas chamber.. .

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on July 13, 2012 at 3:12pm: So excited for those waiting for calls today! I hate to be wishing time away but I can't wait to get that call!!!!! I'm guessing Wednesday? There is no doubt that I am driving my husband insane. He told my daughter that maybe they should just strap me to the top of the rental car when we get there so that I can get a good view of everything! I'm thinking it's cause then he won't have to listen to me! I know that everyone here understands how I am feeling, and I am grateful for that :)

Comment by Meegan on July 13, 2012 at 2:59pm: Ladies, I have a Iphone and that exact thing happend to me when he called when he arrived. I was sending a text and his "arrival" call went straight to voicemail. I am not sure if it happens on all phones but it happend to me and it was totally crushing!!! Prolly better if you just try to keep it free, I want everyone to get "The Call" I am so excited for all of you that get that call today!

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 2:50pm: Ladies, be sure to keep those phones "free." What I mean is...no texting right now. I'll never forget the post from a lady who was sending a text to someone asking if she had heard anything, and her sailor was trying to call at the exact time. Call went straight to voicemail and she missed it.

Now ---with the smartphones, maybe that doesn't happen anymore? Not sure. This was about a year ago. Maybe you can still receive a call when sending a text or receiving one on today's phones??? If so....then, never mind! :-)

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 2:47pm: NicksWifey: Sorry, but they usually don't get to call early. Every so often...we might see a call posted on here about 15 minutes early, but many times, the calls actually come later. But...man those phones because some great calls should be arriving for 221/222 families soon!

singingbird: We took the shuttle and it was about 1/4 mile walk to the hall.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 13, 2012 at 2:45pm: It shouldn't be long now for some very exciting calls :-)

Comment by Paige on July 13, 2012 at 2:32pm: I know.. son said be ready to answer phone between 2 - 4 they are an hour behind us so .. its almost 2 in GL now..

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on July 13, 2012 at 2:23pm: Update on Div 221/222 gas chamber issue. Toni on FB page found out from RTC they did do it, so at least that's off the list...

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on July 13, 2012 at 1:55pm: I think I might wear out the button on my phone by checking it so often. I just can't help it!
