Hello Ladies! My son is Division 74 and his wife just got her first call from him yesterday. She was so excited she could barely tell me what he said. :-) He seems to be doing great, making good friends and getting in shape. When she told me he was on laundry duty for 95 guys I couldn't help but laugh! Wonders never cease. :-) I just made my reservation for PIR at the Navy Lodge Great Lakes...room rate of $66/nite. As of yesterday he had not received any of our letters yet, but his wife sent the first four to the Processing Center by mistake.

Sorry for the delay. We will be going this Thursday hopefully to make ours. Our oldest son is still trying to decide if he can go. We're coming from south ms. So yes culture shock. No letters yet :( and he called this past Saturday but we missed it. Crazy story. On the voice mail he sounded good but tired and more mature. I hear they only mail letters on sundays or mondays. But they get letters everyday. At least that's what we heard..... what has your SR signed up for.

Im trying to make plans for graduation. I wish I knew how long the kids would get to spend with us. I am thinking of flying in on thurs and flying out on Saturday. I dont know if they will get to spend Saturday with us though or get shipped out to their schools. I don't think we will find this out until right before we get out there. Does anyone else have any information on this?

Most of them will be flying out on Saturday. But if unable to get flights, they will fly out on Sunday. You can visit at the airport with your sailor until departure time (take ID for an airlines gate pass). They are bussed together to the airports in the wee hours of Sat. morning to wait for flights. First ones usually leave out around 6 a.m. but some won't be leaving until later in the afternoon/early evening. If possible, book your own return Sunday just in case so you don't miss time with your sailor. They won't know actual flight arrangements until right before PIR (sometimes not until PIR day).
