Oh! One more thing, do the birth certificates for the 7 year olds have to be originals or can they be copies?

I got my call too!!!! I asked him if this was my "I am a sailor" call, and he said, "How did you know?" Cute. I love him sooo much! I love this site and "talking" with all of you! I wish I had kept up with it from the beginning. I will not be at the meet and greet because my flight does not even land until 7:30 or so, and then I have to get my car etc
Congrats to all of you and your babies!

Kim, I'm imagining "hot pants for guys." HAHAHA. Wow, I'm really dating myself aren't I? Hot pants from like the early 70s! I've got today and tomorrow to get ready, we're flying to Milwaukee on Tues. 6:00am to visit my Aunt& Uncle before PIR so I'd better get busy. I'm so 'on' that I woke up at 4:00 this morning and have been up since. I'm VERY excited for this all to happen. Are 840&841 doing BS together? 'B' didn't say anything about it yesterday. I'm so excited to see my baby! (He said he's lost 5 lbs, I hope I can find him!!!! LOL

I want to bring a friend of my son's to his PIR, but his name is not on the list my son made. My son said it is too late to add a name. (I got a call today!!!:-)
My son said that if we get to the gate early enough they will let him in with picture ID, but that doesn't sound right. Does anyone know?
Thanks
I am tired, I have two papers due for my night class by Monday. Might take the twins (age 7) in my pic to the county fair tomorrow.

Got my call from "B" this evening. He's still coughing a bit, but nothing big. Kim, our boys are "A" & "B" LOL. "B" said they (841) won the chant with the theme from "Robin Hood, Men in Tights!" He said they did it again for the Captain because he wanted to see it. I would also love to see that! Said they were wearing their "short shorts" in lieu of tights. Must have gotten plenty of laughs!

841 had the highest scores so "cruiter heaven" is their "reward." It lasts the weekend.

My daughter got a call from B today about Div 841 & "cruiter heaver." He says they get phone calls, to go to the Nex, Food Court, etc. all weekend. He said they all ace'd their written tests and got "over the top" on PT tests too. He says he will call ME tomorrow. YEAH! One funny thing he said is that 841 RTCs won't let them have dessert. I guess they bring out pie, cookies, ice cream, etc. every night,, but they (841) have to pass it up because they "don't need it." If they get "junk" as B put it, this weekend, I hope they don't make themselves sick on it! LOL I had asked him what he wanted me to bring him and he said cookies, rice krispie treats, candy, chips, etc. and he's not a junk food kind of guy so I guess the deprivation has gotten to him! Also, the Div is down to 60 guys.
G'nite all

I missed my call!!! :-( I was in my night class. He talked to my 15 year old son who was home. He is in div 841 he was a water polo player, maybe that's who Kim's son was talking about! My son who talked with him said div is getting "Hall of Fame" I don't know what that is either.
I don't know if I should bring his cell or ipod either?
I'm so excited! Just reading everyone's messages brings tears to my eyes.
