Welcome to ship 09 div 140. this site is very informative and encouraging. Did he say why he got to call you yesterday? I am carrying my phone all around work just in case my son, Josh calls. I missed the three week call. He also had all four wisdom teeth pulled. He hates the dentist so this was a big step for him. Just to let you DIv 139 and Div 140 are going to wear navy blue scarfs at PIR. I live in Fairfield Calif. Again welcome to the site and DIV 140 family. He is 25 but first time away from home.
Did he have any news about the division? Has he made friends?
Most of us div 140 moms didn't get calls last week at all. There are only a few of us on this site, but I told mine to spread the word to other recruits about it.
On the bright side his brother's first grade class finished the banner. They addressed it to the whole division and drew pictures. I hope they get to enjoy it for a few minutes. I realize they probably can't post it, but it's the thought that counts. It's great and I hope everyone likes it! It's about 10 feet long.
Did you book with Southwest? They don't refund on the special or "get Away" but they will move it. But it won't change ... be positive!
I love southwest!!
Did he talk about passing any test this week. If they dont call as time goes on it means they are on time. I think this was the hurlte to get over and they will graduate on time. Good seeing you on here I was wondering where everyone has been. I will be going to Jcpenneys this weekend to see if i can find a navy blue scarf I didnt the one online you were mentioning. I will get one> i also ordered ribbons and will wear that too. Talk to you later.
