My son is Division 244 too!!!  My son is Chad!

Just found all of you. According to my son's envelopes, he was in Ship 7 Div 244 but the last two letters show Ship 14 Div 244 on the return address. I'm confused.....

I also keep missing his phone calls as he calls at strange times--like when I'm driving and the cell phone is in my purse! I can't wait to see him on Friday! He mentioned in his last message that he might not be going to A School right away-may have a week before he ships out to Florida. My husband said our new sailor should get his orders this week so we'll know more. Does anyone have ideas on if he'll come home or will need to stay at Great Lakes until he ships out?

We are flying into Midway Thursday afternoon and fly out Saturday evening. I have some shorts, undies, and t-shirts to take for lounging around the room. Should I be bringing civilian clothes for when he ships out, his cell phone, etc.? I'm clueless as to what he can have and what I need to bring.

There is a lot of great information on this site; just wish I found you all in June! My sailor's name is Andrew, he enlisted in the Reserves, will be returning to college after A School, and should be based in Ventura. He said his bunkmate will be there also.

Stressing:::: I am reading that there are some sailors leaving early Sunday morning rather than early Saturday morning. Does anyone know if this is the case for all of the graduating sailors. I know it probably depends on a lot of different things. My son is div 244 and going to Pensacola. Are there others going to Pensacola and leaving early sunday morning? Like everyone else, trying to get the last minute plans made.(2 memorial services, trying to help schedule around)
