We got our hotel and plan to drive. He was so worried the date might change for graduation. It was hard putting the tree up yesterday because he loved decorating it with me or a girl friend. Have you gotten to talk to your son? We missed his second call and we were sick. Now the house phone is forwarded to my cell and we answer every call.

Our son is in ship 12, div 029. We got two letters yesterday and it is the highlight of our lives. We sit down like two hungry little kids to read them and savor every word, its funny. Never realized letters could bring such delight. He is doing well. He said they got new uniforms and are waiting for them to come back from the tailors. They have a weapons turnover inspection today he is nervous about, yet feeling confident.

You got to talk to him for 30 minutes. I am so jealous ;). We are staying at the
Marriott. When and what time is the sarges meet in greet? I didn't know anything about that. Just found out my son is going to San Antonio, TX for his "A" trianing for Hopsital Medical Corpmen after boot. Do you know if they get more than just a few days after boot? I'd love to take him back home with us.

I'll look into changing to the closer Marriott. How amazing that both our sons are going to Texas. Wow we don't even get the entire weekend with them if they leave Saturday morning. I thought they get a liberty. I wish I knew exactly when his liberty was so we could plan accordingly. Do you know?
