Didn't mean to upset anyone with the info about no calls for division 224. I hope that my son was wrong, and that everyone will receive a call this weekend. He just toldme that they wouldn't be able to call this weekend. I asked why, were they 'bad' and he said yes, but did say everyone was doing fine.

Got a short phone call today - still working on that security clearance information! Anyway, my son said that his division will not be able to make any phone calls this weekend. Division 224. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. He said everyone seems to be doing well in the division, just no calls this weekend. :(

I'm still deciding if I'm going to go to San Antonio or not. I was just there for 2 weeks and it gets SO hot and humid there, I got really bad heat rash. And by then I'll be pretty darn pregnant so I don't know if I will or not.

What the heck is "craso"? I meant to write "how crazy is that". Reminds me of hoe annoying it is to type on iPhone and the word correct default there. Anyway jsut clarifying that weird "craso" blurb.

Tickled and Rackie, I live in San Antonio and Ft Sam where their A school will be is an awesome installation. That's so cool.

TickledTink: we can go together in San Antonio! Let's plan this out!!

Yeah driving can be a lot less especially for a group. But since I'm going by myself, driving would actually cost more than twice as much in gas, not to mention take 36 hrs to get there. So flying was a better option for me. I'm not worried about it because I think he will be graduating on time and if for any reason he doesn't, I can still get use out of the fare $$ if not to go to GLs, then to go to San Antonio to visit him in A school or go to SF to visit his family.
