I wish I was going to be at the meet and greet. We don't fly in until 8:00 on the 1st. I am getting so excited especially everytime I see the count down clock on the first page. No phone call this weekend. My husband and I just keep saying no news is good news.

Man I miss my daughter and can't wait to see her. With me landing in Chicago at 6pm, I am afraid that I am going to miss the "I'm a Sailor" call, unless she calls later in the evening... Thoughts and prayers for everyone that they get through these last few days...

I have the same feeling we board our plane at 2:00, I sure hope to get the "I'm a Sailor" call before we board the plane. Does any one have any ideas what time they might call?

I have hear they can start as early as 3 and I have seen a post that someone got the call at 7... I hope I am one that gets the 7 call cause I know that she would leave a message, but I am going to be a wreck not knowing if she passed BS21 until I am already there. We fly out at 6am and don't get there until 6:15 pm.... not gonna be fun, but well worth it.

Wow thats a long time to be in airports or on airplanes. We are flying direct from Sac to Chicago we leave at 2:00 and get in at 8:00. If you are correct I will probably miss the call, so sad :( Hopefully she will leave us a message.

We are leaving out of San Francisco and have a 2-1/2 layover in Texas

I am really starting to freak out that we won't know if our recruits passed BS21 until we are all already in Chicago!!! Extra prayers for our groups coming up to pass!!!!

I am getting so anxious that I couldn't sleep well last night. I sure hope I get the call before we board the plane. Gonna start packing today.
