I'm interested in sharing a cab or a car (I did reserve one)... I'm flying in to Ohare though, and I haven't seen anyone else mention that they are flying into there. I'm booked to stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Libertyville.

Woohoo!!!!!!!! Got my first letter. He answered the first questionarre that I sent him then added a letter. He volunteered to be the mail PO. Got his wisdom teeth out. Said they work together outside fine, but chaotic in the compartment. Passed swimming, working on other PT. Said their Div fast learners snd got it together but then seemed to slack snd got sloppy so their P.O. got ticked at them. Passed his first inspection, but the div didnt as a group. Signed off stating 33 days to go. Postmarked 3/3, rec'd 3/6. :-)

That's great news Stacy. I'm so happy for you. He sounds like he's doing great! I can't imagine what they all must be feeling right now. Graduation is going to be so sweet both them and us.

Reread, corrections to add: *(day/date removed). He said their PO has bad rep for being one of the toughest, fears being dropped because PO seems itchy for a reason to get rid of people. Although he stated that, the overall tone of the letter was positive. OH and my inspection comment was incorrect: he said he passed but that it was "team" success or failure. He did not specifically say that the Div did not pass. He wears his Smurfs as his Pajamas :)
*OPSEC (Battlestations are considered ship movement at RTC).

Got a call yesterday. He sounded great. Was on SIQ for infected ankles, blistered bad but now better. Said some are getting pretty stressed and that its tough seeing that. But he feels they are coming together. He said he has sent a lot of letters but we have only received one. Hoping to get the others soon. The call made us proud and even more anxious to see him.
