I was thinking the same thing. My cell phone never leaves my person! I was hoping she would call and give me a battlestations date because her division and your son's division will be the first divisions to test @ battlestations. I confirmed that that with one of the admins on here. We are thinking it will be around Jan 15th or 16th.

I heard the same about battlestations! I thought it would be sooner BUT I guess I am wrong

I have not gotten flight yet still watching prices. I can't wait to see her . Now I'm just figuring out where to go eat Friday nite, what are y'all thinking ?

I have no idea about dinner Friday night. Do most places require reservations? I wonder what's around there? Most places will probably be crowded huh? (soo many rhetorical questions! lol) I guess we better have a plan before we get there! I know the last conversation that I had with Ashley, she said that she wanted to go to our room and take a long HOT shower and veg in her comfy "civilian" sweats. We may just get pizza take out and spend alone time with her.

djk's mom, I am praying with all my might that we get a call. Everytime she has called it has been a Sunday and later in the afternoon (3 0r 4 O'Clock) so it's going to be a long day!
-

also hoping and praying for a phone call, my son is not one to write letters to us cause he is able to make those calls so he writes to those he cannot call, I miss him an the time is going to be here before we know it and we will all be heading to GL for PIR and we will be able to hug our SR's and it is going to be a very proud day that is for sure, so keep those phones handy and hope we all get a call today!
