LATE POST! Sorry, been swamped :-) 4/4/14 @ 12:14 (CA time) I spoke to our son for 27:53 min :-) forgive me if I am sketchy on the details because he caught me while shopping w/my 16 mon old daughter for the trip and I was so excited to hear from him that days later I am still recalling details of our conversation that I've yet to share with his gf & Father. Through his raspy voice (he said that many have been sick off & on) & background noise on my end:) believe he said Div 136 did battle stations late Wednesday which incl a fire drill. The divisions were anxious to try and achieve the captains flag (I believe it is a flag awarded to only 1 div & that div hosts a series of something ugh, I cannot recall the word he used:/). He said we should look for section/area 5 at the ceremony hall because that is where div 136 will be. I hope i don't ruin any surprises with my posts but he mentioned something about customized gear for us mommas :-) also, on Thurs they were trying to earn the privilege to go to Ricky Heaven. If I remember more I promise to post asap. This is my first "info" post...I wish I could remember more! But all you ladies hold a special place in my heart& I am forever indebted to you for all the awesome info, your encouragement& support. I hope to meet as many of you as possible although sadly I may not attend the Meet & Greet (my little one is getting her final 4 teeth in so she's cranky:)...but I sincerely appreciate each & everyone of you. I tell my son "I have dozens of friends now thanks to N4M!"...funny how much it means to our children when they realize we mommas have this type of support system. So, with that said...I pray for a safe & joyous travel for us all & hope to see you there! I will be hard to miss, just look for the woman with short dark hair and a toddler screaming notes about as high as Minnie Riperton & Mariah Carey (boy does she have a voice!)
