If you can make it to your Meet and Greet by all means go. Mine was 3/11 and it was sooo wonderful meeting the parents and those here on Navy4Moms!! Even though the conversations were brief, I thoroughly enjoyed this event with my family. AND you may have an opportunity to have a few things to say about your sailor!! More families attended than I expected, which is opposite of how these things usually go. I'm sure many of us send warmest regards and thanks to those behind the scene who worked at putting the Meet and Greet together!!!!hugs hugs hugs...what a great memory!! Well worth the effort Ladies!!

When my other son gradated from the Marine boot camp everyone had red on (which was his platoons color) They sold shirts and sweatshirts with Bravo platoon number---- on them and the bleachers were full of red. It was nice to see. My favortie sweatshirt has, "my son is a Marine" on the front and Bravo company with platoon number on the back. I was hoping to get one that that for this son, but the Navy seems to do it differently.

Debbie,
From my understanding the hotel has stuff to eat and if you want any drinks it is a cash bar. Nothing else that I am aware of. You are staying busy. If I hear of anything else, I will let you know
Thanks

Hi I am a little behind with all this Navy BC stuff and am trying to catch up (full time work + 2 accelerated college classes=overwhelmed) There will be 4 of us attending. Is this the only meet and greet and is their any cost with it besides our meals? Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Oh my son is in DIV 113
