When did your daughter arrive in Norfolk? My son is moving from Great Lakes to Norfolk in two weeks for his C school. Was she able to find her sponsor? My son is still trying to locate his. It is such a helpless feeling, isnt it?

Thats a great question.I do wonder how many brave young women we might have in all divisions.You should be very proud of her.How old is your daughter?I can't wait to meet you and your daughter and thank you all for service (them) and support (you).Of course I will probably be a big blubbering idiot when we all meet and at PIR especially.Yes I'm a big crier.I miss my son so so much, I have been hoping all week for a letter and have gotten nothing.Frustrating!!!!!!!maybe today,I hope.Take care and have a great day.
