TxNavymomCPO they may not let the girls call until they pull together and stop fighting. It was a priviledge for Cameron to call because of the exam grades but if they see the girls pulling apart and not together they may have used it as a punishment. The call came out of the blue and he must have called me at the same time rynots son called.
Ribbons, I would love one, I don't think my husband would wear one but I think my son's girlfriend would so that would be 2 for us. My name is Jo and her's is Jordan.
Cameron said on the phone their first paycheck will be in on the 1st of August. I alos got him to buy the Navy photo package for me as a gift. I heard it was about $170 and after travelling up there and the hotel and car I would not be able to afford it. I didn't get any HS graduation pictures because they all turned out so bad so I am hoping thse will be good. Cameron only graduated HS a month before he shipped out.

I was thinking about buying one because in everyone else's car they remain quiet. Something not to expensive but lets see what happens with his pay check. I am hoping it will be here by the 1st. If there is anyway I can help please just let me know and I will try. The ribbon idea i always thought was a great one especially with the Anchors. Does anyone know where I can get a navy magnet for the car?

Jophers: Thanks again for the long update. Still have not received a phone call or letter so am very happy to hear news vicariously. Kinda disappointed tht there isn't any other Div 288's here. What gives?
As for the ribbon, I want one - maybe screen name is best since that is how we will know each other.
Quick question - are the 900 series of divisions the band and flag carriers?
