I've got my hotel booked. I'm driving up from Northwest Florida, (gas is less expensive than air fair), so I expect to get there Thursday night. My son is div 324 ship 14 also. Kevin. I need to find out how I get a pass to drive on base, or if there is parking off base and a shuttle that can bring us on base.

Did you all get a phone call today? My daughter did not sound good. I think today has been a rough day for them. They didn't earn a flag and I think the Navy broke my daughter today. :( I hear it is supposed to start getting easier soon...I just wish I could fly out there right now and give her a big hug.
My daughter said she made three friends : Crosby, Mason and Scott. Are any of these young ladies yours? If so, your daughters are helping my daughter get through this. :) I dont know first names.
Hopefully the next letter or phone call will be better. Take care all.

My boyfriend (of 4 years) is in this division. He got to call today, and I only got to talk to him for 60 seconds, but he sounded great! SO much more positive than the first phone call. The first one was hard, he was in the dumps. I received his letters yesterday! So thrilling. They were great! I hope you are all doing well and keeping positive for our Sailor Recruits. Xx.
