My son called and I am so sad that we missed the call. Thank you for posting your notes because he didn't say anything except 'hi, it's me'...ahhhh! Glad to hear about the flags. Are you all going to the meet and greet at the Ramada? Thanks and see you all soon!

My son called as well. He also said they are doing well as a division - won every flag they can so far!

Just got a phone call !!! He thinks they will be doing Battlestations on either 1/23-24 or 1/24-25. Said as a division they are doing really well and winning lots of flags. Also said he was a Sharpshooter!! Wasn't expecting to hear from him, what a great surprise :)

Chris,
Originally we thought be was going to be a g&g and I was hoping to meet him at the airport. I figure now I will just bring it so he can check-in with all his friends on facebook Friday afternoon and then ship it to San Antonio once he gets there. I figure someone there will have a cell phone that he can use to call me with his address instead of having to wait for the form letter. Remember, how long that first 2 weeks was!! I'm with you, it will be much nicer to have more contact, he hasn't been much of a letter writer! I haven't heard anything about their schedule other than Jan 3rd was 4-1 for them. I'm not expecting a phone call until after Battlestations.

Has anyone heard anything about phone calls?

Sharon,
Sorry to hear you won't be able to stay the weekend. At least after boot camp it will be A LOT easier to stay in touch with him. Also, I have the impression that we can't give them anything to take to A school e.g. their cell phones or laptops. Those who are able to go to the airport with them I think can give it to them there. I may be wrong but that is my understanding. We won't be able to go to the airport with my son so I'm planning on either making a quick trip to South Carolina or mailing his things.

Got a letter today dated 12/31/10, says that his RDC told everyone they leave for A school on Feb 2nd. I'm heart sick that I won't get to stay for the weekend with him.

Hi Ladies! Happy New Year to all of you. It was extremely busy over the holidays, but it was very weird not having our son home. His smile is just the best - LOL! I haven't heard from him since Christmas Eve,w hich feels like a very long time. He's due to go to A school in Gulfport, but I don't know about his travel plans yet.
Welcome hikermom! Can't wait to meet you.

Got 2 letters today!! My son will be going to A school in Pensacola and has to be there Feb 2 so we will definitely get to spend the weekend with him. Yea!! Seems like he has been gone such a long time. He did say he's really getting used to the routine but he can't wait until he gets to see us.
