Good Morning Everyone! Would anyone from Div 177 like to reserve a table at Sarge's meet and greet? From what I am reading you can get there at 4:45 and put a sign on the table to reserve it. I am willing to do that if anyone else would like to go. Hope you all have a great day!

Letter from our SR today had a more serious, even fatigued tone. I quickly wrote a reply and photocopied the back two pages of the latest Consumer Reports, the goofy ads and offers that readers send to publisher. Maybe a memory of simpler times at home will cheer him for a moment. I guess we're all in the same shoes now. I was gong to write, in the same boat, ha ha ha. The waiting gets tough. sigh

How about writing your SR a letter at 0700 Sunday? That way you can be writing at same time as your SR, or pretty darn close!

Hello everyone! I haven't gotten a call in 2 weeks from my SR. But the last letter that I received he sounds like he has changed and matured so much!! I am so proud of him and cannot wait to see him. Everyone is telling me how much he change from being in boot camp. My husband just found out that he will be able to take off and go with me and I am so happy about that. I was worried having to go out there by myself. I cant wait to meet some if you at the meet and great. I will get there early and try to reserve a table for Div 177/178. If there as any that haven't responded and would like for me to add you to those that are going please let me know how many. If you would like to have my cell # please friend request me and send me a private message.
