Flying out Thurs to watch my sailor, my hero, get his crow, exactly 18 yrs, 7mo  young.Will drive back to windy city with him for an unexpected  days leave  the navy granted to all 1209 'ers;  they earned it. Wants to pick up his mountain bike and show off his mini cooper to his friends back home ..guess i lose the other half of my round trip plane ticket for some quality  time with my  new PO3. Know his grandfaher LCDR USN (ret.) is so proud.

I posted a link on FB on the Enterprise yesterday wishing them God speed for all to see. I prayed for all our Sailors and continue to do so daily (many times a day). I also pray for the families of the military. We are very proud of our guys. I know how hard it is for us families at home. We have spent our entire lives protecting and loving them and we just want the powers that be to be good stewards of our precious treasure.

I saw that the Enterprise was on its final deployment through Twitter.  They were in my prayers this morning and will continue to be as well as all our service men and women.

Point taken. While it's true that there had been no specific mention here, I believe it's fairly well known that the Enterprise and its sailors have recently departed on its last scheduled deployment. My positive thoughts and prayers are aligned with each of our sailors and their families, all who serve, and have served our country.

As parents, we're all at slightly different points in "the process". Count me among those highly concerned about current conditions, particularly those in the Middle East and Afghanistan. As families do, let's focus on supporting our sailors, whatever their current location or role, and each other to the best of our abilities.

Amazing.  The largest contingent of Nukes in the Navy just left for the final deployment on the historic USS Enterprise, to perhaps the hottest and potentially most dangerous place on earth at this time,  and no one else mentions a thing about it?  Simply amazing.

Nothing wrong with wanting to find out about graduation ceremonies, but It's about serving in the fleet.  Your sailors, if they graduate, will serve in the fleet. And that means they will be on board a carrier or sub, and placed in dangerous situations half way around the world.

Enjoy the ceremonies...then welcome to the real world.

Interesting! My son completed prototype at Goose Creek in 2009.

Prototype graduation (at least at MARF) consists of the passing on of the lanyard and a certificate with the instructors and the latest batch of nukes. Low key no outside attendees.

no there isn't

John, I believe the answer to your question is "no" in the sense that it's not a formal event like "A School" graduation where friends and family may attend.
