Loree, I'm so glad there is another division member staying with them. Southwest doesn't come anywhere near us yet. I sure wish they did. We are hoping to use Spirit Airlines out of Myrtle Beach. They have even lowered rates but there is a $100 change fee plus the difference in the price of the ticket. That wouldn't be worth it.

This is wonderful. Their new friendships will be able to continue. Anna, did you make your flight reservations too? I made hotel and rental car but I am afraid to lock in air. Great prices out of Myrtle Beach right now - $120 round trip but I just don't know when it is safe to book.

My son will also be corpsman

Wade is in the same program as Chris then. Wonderful!

Carolyn, Wade talked about your son in his first letters. Since I grew up in Ithaca, he couldn't wait to tell me that. I'll tell Wade I found you. Your son may be a grad and go then which Wade said they were all freaking out about.

Leeletta, your recruiter should be able to update you on that. They can call up there and find out. That is good though if there is a backup because he will not be a grad and go and can spend time with you graduation weekend.

CarolynS, are you from near Binghampton?

Leeleeta, I am so sorry you didn't get his call. I know you hard that is. That was one of my biggest fears and told him to call my cell phone only. I know I would have been physically ill. Good news is though that they will be able to call again according to Wade. I'll ask him if he knows Nicholas. They know each other by last names and you can't post that here. My e-mail address is tsuggs@hsblawfirm.com. Please send me your last name and I'll check with him. I don't believe his whole division is staying there for A-school. It sounds like some of them will be leaving as a grad and go.

Phone call!!!! What a wonderful week this has been on this boot camp rollercoaster. Letters and then a wonderful phone call. He sounded good and excited about all that he has accomplished so far. Wade sounded good and likes everyone in his division. He really liked that we are all in contact. I told him it helps us so much. He said the division was really upset about grad and go and I explained it to him. I told him he was fine because he was staying at Great Lakes for A-school. It was the ones not staying there that would have litle time with their families. Carolyn, so glad you have found us. I can now point out to Wade who your son is. I kept saying his name while talking to him because I know he hasn't heard it in weeks.
