Our son Phil is also in Div 274 and we can't wait to see him. He said all he wants to do is go back to the hotel room and chill out. Sounds great to me. We also want to meet his shipmates parents & friends at the open house on 8-12. See you all there.

I now watch the news more closely and gleen the internet for word…
