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

Posted by Tina -- James' mom on May 4, 2008 at 11:44pm in Bootcamp Forum

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.

Wecome, aboard anyway. It looks like Steven will graduate a week before Phillip (Pam's son) and James (my son). I'm not sure how that worked out because they all left at the same time, but our sons are in the next group.

Pam ~~ I didn't know you were a southern girl, too. I live in Macon, GA, so we're sorta neighbors.

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.
