Sept 16, 2011 BC Graduation
We just found out that our son is graduating on Sept 16th. He is on Ship 12 Div 312. I just wanted to know if there are any other moms that have a kid in this Div. or another one who is graduating on this day.
Also I was wondering when would we know if the date of graduation would change. Well actually is there a date (a week before?) that they were graduating on that day.

Sorry about putting my recruits name, I was so excited when I came to this site, and found someone on the same ship and div as my son.

Completely understandable, I know when I first joined Navy 4 Moms and then found out the date of the graduation. I found Mom's with kids in the same DIV as my son, and it really helped the time go by talking to other moms going through the same thing as me. I'm just sorry that you didn't find this site sooner. Well I'll be with you in these days leading up to the PIR and keep you up to date on things that I found out. I will send you a personal message with my e-mail address, so when we get there that night I will e-mail you some pictures of the graduation. Do you have an account on facebook? If you do Recruit Training Command has a page and they post pictures of the graduations also. I just thought of something else I can create a photo album on the Walgreens web-site and send you the link so you will be able to look at the pictures and order them. Walgreens has a service that will even deliver them to your house.
Take care and thanks again
