I'm soooo happy I found this group! My son graduates 02/08/13 and although I live in Chicago I can't attend because I have training for a new job :(
My mom and sister are going but now I have to decide which of my 2 daughters to send in my place . My sister won't give up her seat like I think she should so his 10 and 17yr old sisters can come in our place. My understanding is division 100 ships out that night or next morning so I asked her to leave with me so at least I can have dinner with him.
Iknow he put her on the list so he didn't have to decide between his sisters with 3 tix. This upsets me more than not being able to attend myself.
Any suggestions on what to do? I don't want anyone waiting by themselves outside graduation.
What can be done to change my name on his list? -

Sorry, for the late update..I've been so busy with work, family, friends and getting ready for this trip. I got three calls last wk (W,TH, & F) and a letter from my SR(13/100). First call, he needed me to send some info. The other two calls were earned. I thought something happened since he called me at 5 am both times. Made me worry for a sec, but he reassured me and said he was doing well, passed his PFA. Friday, when he called..said he wanted to hear my voice before doing the Gas Chamber test. The division is doing well, but they still have problems marching in sync, especially the shorter guys. They were punished a few times because some of them were goofing off. He just want to get this over with and graduate. So he's excited about that and finally get to see me. Told to me to start looking for flights to Pensacola. Haha. Hopefully, I'll be hearing his voice again and telling me he's a Sailor! I'll be flying out on Wed night and arriving there Thurs. morning. I'm looking forward in meeting you all at Sarge's M&G. :D

FYI, those calls were NOT earned and the whole division got PT'd because of these phone calls. Sad how my son and all the others had to pay for your recuits selfish decision.
