Anyone with a child leaving for Great Lakes the week of May 5?

My son is leaving for GL from Atlanta on May 7. I have no idea what time, flight, etc., yet. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there with a child leaving around that same time. They may end up together at GL. I'd love to have a "buddy" to go thru basic training with...lol.

Incase you didn't know it the 900 divisions are the performing divisions.
they consist of Flag, Riffle, Band. I can't wait to hear what your son will be doing in the 900 division. My daughter was in the recruit band.
