I made reservations at the Quality Inn in Waukegan. It was $70/night. Not bad. I'm arriving on 4/13. I am also trying to figure out what to do in the area while we are there. Any ideas?

I haven't received a phone call yet but have been carrying my phone wherever I go!!
I went directly to Southwest Airlines for flights. I'm flying from Oregon so it was a good deal but into the Midway airport. I don't have to pay for baggage and I can change my ticket if I need to. If I went through Priceline, I would have to pay for baggage and wonder how much I would be charged for changing it if I need to.
Good Luck!! I am looking forward to the phone call and "the box". Talk to everyone later!! :o)

I got a call today from my SR. He is doing great. He said that SRs in his division can not speak to each other. They are having trouble paying attention. He is in charge of PT-is title is now the Physical Petty Officer. Had his teeth pulled and loved the two days of rest. Passed his first test with flying colors. I think he LOVES it.
