I will be there the week before; I can get my son to tell your son to talk to me and I can tell him. I wouldn't be able to help you with the pictures but I would be glad to seek out your boy. I know someone will answer you and be able to help you on the exact date; I found a mom on here who had taken pictures at a swearing in ceremony...and my son was front and center in a couple of her pics. I was flabbergasted. I will be glad to take pictures if I can find your son on the weekend I am there if that is allowed.

Hi Christine: I should of put out there ship 03 Div 146. I am not sure how this works but I am thinking that I need to find someone going to the graduation that is in his division. but if you could get him a message. I would be internally grateful. He is the last of 4 children and the only one to go in the service. I am heartbroken that I can make his graduation. I found a care package that he can pick up and this makes me feel better. but I would like to just send him a hug and let him know how proud I am of him.

Hi, foofoomommy, I hope your son is okay. My heart kind of lurched when I saw your post that your son is on medical hold. Maybe his PIR will be with us on 4/15.

Hi saliormom Ship 3 Div 146. Oh my gosh, a daughter, I am having a time just dealing with a son away at bootcamp. I couldn't imagine a daughter, but you must be real proud and happy for her. Yes !!! I just need to let him know that I am there even if from a distance and if you could shake his hand or give him a hug and take a couple of pictures. I tear up everytime I think about that he won't have a family member there for him. He is the youngest of 4 children and our first armed forces member for the past 2 generations. We are very proud and happy for him, but with the world so turbulant that I have fear so I am very, very, very grateful that you would responde and perhaps even help us out. I saw in the brochure that they have a care package that graduates can pick up, which made me feel a little better that I at least can show him that he is loved, sorry sailormom, at bit emotional. Please keep up communication with me if you would like. At least we know they are together. I am not sure if you can put names on this website. But if we can I hope that my son and your daughter get to see each and maybe even have a laugh or two about (well my son might say crazy mom). Thank you and thank you again for reaching out to me.
