Already know of one other family member w/a sailor in this division. Anyone know how they are grouped?  Does their rate/job have anything to do with it?  Looking forward to meeting families at graduation!

I did not get a letter today either and mine usually does come on Wednesday. Maybe tomorrow? Would like to hear something but I guess we are back to no news is good news!
Good morning ladies!!

Toni - Are the bleachers designated by divisions? Since I probably won't make the M&G on thursday, I want to make sure I can at least look for my mighty moms/gf's of 370!!!
From waht I understand you are seated by division group so you should be able to find your N4M 370 family.
There will be a sign with the division number in front of the section of bleachers for our division. You can sit anywhere in that section. There should be plenty of room since there are inly 6 divisions graduating. When my daughter graduated I think there were 12.
Hi there! My son is also in division 370... I haven't heard from him in over a week.. I'd really love a letter!! Does anyone know if they are working any better together?? I sure hope they all come together for BS
Me, too! My daughter came over tonight, said she got a letter today from her brother and he said he wants to go somewhere really good to eat, and wants his little brother to bring his ipod! Sounds like he's thinking of some liberty! Hope I get a letter tomorrow, usually Friday is my day.
Welcome to 370!!
@smarie
my son in law wrote in a letter that they are finally working hard together as a group. It took them a while but they realized they needed each other to make it through Battlestations. His letter yesterday was up beat and funny he wants real food and a real shower! lol
Yep, the one thing my son is looking forward to is the shower!! LOL I just can't wait to see him, I cry thinking about it. I am finding that I am becoming more and more emotional the closer we get to PIR. I think I should let it all come out as it hits me so that I'm not a complete mess when I see him. Seriously... :D
I can hardly wait either. I was just thinking one week from today and we will be with them!!! I received a letter yesterday from my son and he sounded upbeat as well. Said they are doing their PFA today and then captains cup tomorrow. Go 370. He said battlestations on monday but I think he must have been confused. It sounds like they are doing them on Tuesday. Either way, I am praying for them. I am so excited that I catch myself thinking about it instead of working! missheparin, you are not alone with the tears. I even talk about seeing him next week and it brings tears to my eyes.
Toni, your post really lifted my spirits! I am thrilled to hear they are working together! I am also thrilled that they are doing BS earlier in the week (Tues.?) than originally posted. I didn't see how I was going to be able to get on the plane Thurs morning, not knowing how he had done. Now we get to know on Wed.! At the latest!
GO 370, CAPTAIN'S CUP!!!!!
Ladies of 370, just want a group hug--we're going to make it! (((((((( 370 )))))))))
Please post any news you have! Anyone here from New Jersey? My son said his bunkmate was from there!
