Morning ladies :)
just joined the site & group.. My son Daniel is also ship 14 div 307... got to hear from him this past sunday, he was either exhausted or sad, he sounded just down. my husband & i and another couple were the only parents at the MEPS station in miami to go & see our son & her daughter off (it broke my heart for the other kids). I miss him so much, he is the oldest of my 3 kids & he's 21... best thing for him. Im really sad that we can only have 4 people at the graduation ! so now i have to leave my 2 daughters behind since my dad is going with us... we will be driving to the graduation from the Ft. lauderdale area & will arrive that the 15th. as soon as DH tells me which hotel we are at, i can let you all know. I was lucky, i got a call from Daniel the day after his box and letter came & he was able to give me the corrected address info.. I've been trying to write to him roughly every 2-4 days, i've sent some pictures to... He signed up as a firefighter so his A school is right there & he wont have to fly out anywhere. Thats all i know for now... one of the things i notices the few times he's called is it was the same # so i saved it to my phone & used the sonar ping as the ring tone & dont you think this last call, it was different....lol but i saved that # to with sonar so this way i know it's him calling even though like you, my phone is branded to my body....{{{ HUGS }}} to you all. I know you feel just like me, happy & sad at the same time... cant wait to meet you all... Lauri

Hi Lauri, we will definitely have to meet, you are the first mom I met on here that her son is on the same ship, same division and her son is staying at Great Lakes for A school and his job will be DamageControlMan (Firefighter). That would of been hard to see some of the recruits at the MEPS station with no parents there. I wouldn't of missed it for the world, even though I never cried so hard in my life. I cannot wait for graduation on 8-16-13. I'll be a crying mess again but this time with happy tears. You mentioned above only 4 people are allowed and I have been reading on this site that it is actually only 3 people who can attend his graduation. Also did you make hotel reservations yet? We are staying at the Ramada (kind of considering of changing it to the Navy Lodge) but I like the idea it has a pool and our 14 year old daughter will be coming with us so a pool will be nice. well write back when you can, Holli PS when you talk to Daniel ask him if he knows Evan?
