We are stopping by the airport to drop off his cell phone and ipad. I was told that when they have to be back at base friday night that they could not have these things so the only way for them to take those items is to deliver them at the airport or ship them once they get their address at A school

Which meet and greet is most going to? they have one at Sundance Saloon aka Sarge's meet and greet or the on at the Ramada? we went to the at the Ramada 3 yrs ago and it was really boring and unorganized. I think we will be going to the Sarge's this time it sounds so fun. I can't believe it's less than 2 weeks until PIR, it seems just a few days ago we were saying good bye at the game. hope to see everyone soon.

I started packing and making my "to do" list. Gotta stay busy!!!
