I ordered marc's on March 20th and still have not got them. If you do it there he gets to have it sized, pick his stone color and he will know more of what his field will be cuz they put that on. You get the old Navy ring included plus earrings. My son picked blue for the earrings and he must have seen my face because my fav. color is purple did he forget. He said I am sorry Mom they are for Jess.( a girl he liked) Well at least I got to pay for them:)

Wow! Thanks for all the tips! My husband collects ball caps, so I'm sure he'll want to get one of those. The Navy ring is a great idea, too. How long do they take to come in, do you know? I'm wondering if we could order one now and present it to him after his PIR...

Also in the NEX you can order a Navy ring. They cost a bit but have great payment plans. We also got Grad pics there and of course shirts and a proud navy dad hat for my husband

I also have heard this. Great idea to include this. When you are waiting for the grad to start they talk about what families can do on base. Thank you I will paste it to include. My son wasn't staying on base but he was so worried about getting back on time after PIR that we went back around 7 pm and ate at the NEX. They had a subway, KFC, pizza hut and taco bell. I was glad he wanted to do this because when we left there was a long line of cars and all the Sailors were jumping out of the cars…

Wow, Deanna! This is extremely helpful! I've read most of it in other places, but you had some information that was new to me, too. To have it all in the same place is terrific!<br />
<br />
I have a question. Can you confirm the accuracy of this paragraph that I found posted in another discussion?<br />

"While you wait for your Sailor following graduation, MCPON Hall and eateries at RTC are available, or you may use your graduation parking pass to visit the USO, building 27 onboard Naval Station Great Lakes (Mainside). Parking is available outside Gate 1 adjacent to Mainside’s Visitors Center located on Sheridan Road. Walk through Gate 1 and proceed to the USO located on the corner of Farragut Avenue and Rodgers Street; escorts will assist. Snacks and drinks will be available on the second floor of the USO."<br />
<br />
If it's accurate, you may want to add it in above so others know about the USO and MCPON Hall.
