My son is in the same. Shop 11 div 050. He called my wife on Saturday. Unfortunately, she missed the call. She was so bummed. No message. We now have that # programed into our phones so that we can recognize the #. We booked our flights today as well as lodging. Cant wait to hear or see him.

My son arrived at Great Lakes on Tues 20 Nov 2012, he called his wife spoke briefly and said he will write in 2 weeks.  So we are not sure of what his division number is.  Looking forward to finding other parent of sailors also in his division.

It was great today to get a chance to talk to our son this morning. Since we missed the first call, we have all had our phones ringer turned on at all times. Bothy times that he has been able to call has been on a Saturday. He sounded great.
Can't wait to hear from him again.
We have booked our airfare, and hotel for PIR.

My son also called today.  My wife and I enjoyed a 10 minute conversation with him.  This is the second Saturday in a row that he has been able to call.  He has a friend who left a week before him and graduates on 12/28.  His parents have yet to recieve a phone call other than the initial "I'm here, I'm ok" call. I guess it really up to the discrection of the drill sergeant on how often they get to call out. 

 

I made reservations at the Springhill Suites by Marriot and got a better rate than what I found online by calling the hotel directely. I was able to get a King suite at $89.00 a night with the "Navy Graduation" discount.
