DZMOM i talked to sarge yesterday. He said if you are at the meet and greet there will be a paper to put you name on for anyone wanting a ride to the base. I told him I wouldn't be able to make the meet and greet because we were coming in at 2 am. He said to text him our room number and number of people and he would have a car there between 6 and 6:30. I am excited and nervous. But wondering how do we get back.

Ohiomom...we talked to Sarge yesterday as well. What a nice guy- I can't wait to meet him in person! He told us to come to the meet and greet even though we don't land until 6:00. He said this is a huge graduation with so many divisions involved. I was wondering the same thing about getting back- though maybe we shuttle back as well

DIVISION 315 took TOP HONORS in Captains cup for integrated division over the weekend. I am so excited for them... This is one of the largest PIR groups in awhile so they had to beat out a bunch of other divisions. I feel so emotional and I wasn't even there and don't really know what they had to do to get it.. But Congratulations to the SR's.

LibbysMom...the ribbons are for moms to wear to graduation. I learned about them from this website. I can't find the link anymore, so I hope the ribbon comes tomorrow. My son is in 316. Have a safe trip.

I have a sailor! Congrats to all the moms getting their calls now. I was surprised that he got to stay on the phone for an hour, and it was wonderful. We called my husband, and we called my mom. She was so surprised, all she could do was cry. This has been such an emotional journey over the last 7 1/2 weeks. I'm excited that he will be in Pensacola Sunday, and that I'll be able to visit him, since we only live 4 hours away. He told me about his best friend there, SR Orth. I also talked to someone named Mack. He told me he loved me! LOL. I can't wait to meet everyone once we get there.
