My daughter is on Ship 12 Div 129.  She also put her graduation date is on the 29th of Mar.  I am putting in a call to her recruiter to find out the exact dates because just like all you guys, we need to make travel arrangement and put in for days off from work.  However, thanks for all the info it is very very helpful

DrTamika That also happened to me my daughter on Ship 12 Div 130 when I got her form letter it har graduation date of March 29th. I called her recuiter yesterday and found out her PIR date is 3/22/2013

I received a 15 minute phone from my SR today.  She sounded good and said she was doing good.  It was just so good to hear her voice.

I also heard from my SR today. He sounded like he was in good spirits. So happy to hear my husbands voice. He said that they would be calling on Saturdays. Can't wait!
Oh my God, I received my call from my baby today. I was such a relief to hear her voice. She did confirm her graduation was on the 22nd. She is in good spirits besides missing home and her cat. She told us to bring the cat to the graduation. Lol We just kept encouraging her. She is determined to graduate. That will be her birthday weekend. I am so estastic. She made my weekend.

Yay!  My son (Ship 12  Division 130) called his fiancee today.  She said he sounded good and said it wasn't half as bad as he was expecting it to be!  It sounded like he was doing great, so therefore, I am too!!! 

Cute Kitten Smiling

My son called us and his fiancee today!  Good to hear his voice.  Hope everyone else got a call, too!

My son is on Ship 12 Div 129. So sad I missed his call on Thurs, Feb 20 @ 3:21pm. He left a message telling me his is still doing pretty good. I was working and had left my phone on my desk accidentally. What gets me the most is when he says I'm not sure when I will be able to call again. He graduates March 22nd. I'm so PROUD of him. :-)

Has anyone heard anything from Ship 12 Div 129? My son is with this group. I haven't heard a thing since I missed his call in February. I know sometimes no news is good news. I've been writing but he hasn't written me back. Wondering what they are doing this week? Battle Station 21 soon!! I hope he is just staying focused to accomplish the Goal. I wish all of our SR's the BEST. God Bless them All! :-)

My daughter is in Ship 12, which is now scheduled for PIR on 3/22/13. We cannot download our parking pass. Has anyone else had this problem? We are supposed to be able to get our parking pass 10 days prior to graduation.

Hi Christy! Did you get to download your parking pass? My password changed when the PIR date changed from 3/29 to 3/22. My son called me and gave me the correct password today. I hadn't tried until today or else I would have been in a panic.
