Have you heard from your daughter or son? My daughter is in Div 300 and she sounds good, but tired. Interesting in hearing how your daughter or son is doing.

Hello everyone, haven't had the chance to visit here in a couple of days, but all the information given has been quite helpful. I am just wondered, are the hotels filling up fast? Just received info on my daughter about graduation. She will be there the entire weekend because of the holiday. Great news more time to spend with her. Am I hearing correctly that they will have to go back each night and maybe not stay over with the parents.

Tisha-- I can only think of one reason why they would have one, and that would be so that they can have all their things in GL and take them with them when they go to A-School.

Something else I keep forgeting to ask. Months ago when my son joined the DEP program and I joined this site, I read post talking about renting a storage for your recruit and I didn't quite understand what that was about. Does anyone know?

Candlewood and Residence Inn have shuttles for the grad morning only. At least that is what Candlewood told me. My plan is to take the shuttle that morning but still have a car rental to take him back that night, etc. It sounds easier to shuttle that morning. I would call the hotel directly.

Does anyone know if there is a shuttle from the Spring Hill Suites to the base on the morning of PIR? We haven't booked a room yet but I am looking for a place that has a shuttle service

Kelly I'm so happy for you I've been wondering as I'm sure you have been what's taking so long. I guess that there are just so many of them somebody has to wait. YEAHHH!!! Now let's wait for that phone call. My husband and I are so afraid we are going to miss it. I missed Rich's call the first night. He had to leave a message and i just walked away from my phone for one minute. I felt awful.
