It appears that there will be lots of us at Great Lakes on this date, God willing. I've read lots and lots of great tips for the graduation from this site and Navy4Moms... Maybe we can keep each other advised as we move forward. My son, David is in Ship 09, Div 038. I understand that PT starts today and swim test is tomorrow. God bless them all.

thanks for looking, I talked to him and his sister yesterday and they got a lot of pictures. Sean said that he had to stand for at least an hour while holding the flag at parade rest. They said it was pretty awesom and now they are exploring the Chicago area until tomorrow.

Shane, The ceremony was absolutely awesome- all the sailors looking and acting so professional. The drill floor at liberty call was a madhouse and after hugs and photos with my son we did some looking around and asked to try to find your son with no luck. Hopefully you'll get some photos from your ex. I wish that you could have been here... I know that you do too. Please let me know if you got to see some images of the event. Mark

Got a letter today from the boy. Said that things are getting much better. also said that their division got to eat lunch with a bunch of Senior Chiefs and a couple of Sgt Majors from the Army. He said it was really cool because they were able to talk to all of these senior guys like regular sailors and not recruits. His sister got a letter that said that they were going to be able to have liberty right after Christmas through Jan 6. I guess it's one of those deals where they can leave base but need to be back every night. I think his sister and mother are going to try and get their for couple of days.

Christopher,
Sorry that I didn't get your email until just now... we had some issues with the wireless last night. So glad to hear that you got your vehicle repaired. Be safe, my friend. Congratulations again to your sailor!

Hi Dads!
Just wanted to congratulate all of you on your loved ones PIR today... wishing I could've been there. Can't wait to see the photos and to talk with my brother and hopefully my nephew.
Sean's sister and mother left today about 2 today, the got to the airport and their plane was delayed by two hours due to snow, I guess they got it all worked out, supposed to be in GL around 1 am.

Mark & Christopher....hope you have a great PIR experience at GL! We sure did on Dec 4. The weather was clear and cold but it was an experience we'll never forget. Now, our son is in MA school in San Antonio and is already thinking of going into special ops specializing in bomb defusing. Have a safe trip and God Bless.

Christopher and Paul, Good luck to you both as you travel. Extended forecast looks pretty good for now- but I have no faith in those who try to predict weather. We leave from Orlando on Tuesday morning and fly into Milwaukee. Arrive at 11am... We'll make a dry run to the base Tuesday afternoon but right now I'm leaning toward taking the shuttle to the PIR or a taxi. I've read time over and over how long the lines are if you drive. Excited to finally be so close to going! Mark
