Sunday

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick update. We will be taking Gavin to Hapeville on Sunday at around 3. We went to the Naval office yesterday and he got his Shipper. He will stay overnight at the Doubletree with the Master Chief, and then will head over to MEPS for final inspection on Monday, August 3rd. Stephen and I will travel down on Monday morning to watch his swearing in and say our goodbye's at Fort Gillem. I will load pics as soon as we get back home. Please know that he is very excited, feels very good about his decision, and is ready to go. The Chief and Recruiter had very good things to say about him yesterday while we were getting his shipper. He went from a Deppy ( that's what they call people in the Delayed Entry Program) to a recruit yesterday. Now we will await the call after Battle Stations when he says, " Mom and Dad, I am a Sailor!" Please continue to keep our boy in your prayers, will update with more when we have new info :)
