Don't know if you ladies have heard about the graduation suspension for guests. Things are not looking ideal for visitation as the number of cases in Illinois continues to grow. Hopefully, the spread will have slowed or ceased by our graduates time to graduate. As heartbreaking as this is for us, I know that it is absolutely killing our recruits who are desperate to see family. 

Also a suggestion, I have already told my sailor about the change that may likely affect him. Because I have previous family members in the military, I know they like to only tell what is 'necessary' and wait until literally the last minute to get information out. So, I let my sailor know what is happening out here, also softer to hear verses how the chief might tell them. Also to help him prepare in getting information out to the family from airline plans to A school. 

My sailor said he would call again this Sunday for his full hour. Did your recruits tell you the same thing?
