My son's best friend a part of Ship 3/Division 277. He is from Michigan. He also will be going to San Antonio. His name is John. I hope they have become friends, seems like they will be spending more time together. My son leaves this week (17th). He will be headed to San Antonio in October after PIR. So proud of them all. Hope its ok, that I joined this group. I do consider Johnny as my "other" son. :)
