Congrats to all that just graduated. It sounds like an impressive ceremony. I can't wait to go. My son starts next week but I guess he has already started with the (mis)information... He told me he thought they would graduate on Dec 14. That is a Wednesday, so I am REALLY hoping he is wrong. I hope Gloria's son is right. Friday would be much better for my family...lol
Today has been one yr since Dylan joined. He has been in school or waiting to class up for school for an entire yr. I can't wait for FMTB to be finished for him and then he can settle down to life as a working Navy Sailor....
To everyone that gave me all the helpful advice on finding auto mechanics in the area a Big Thank You! It took almost 3 weeks but he finally has a car again and he can get out and enjoy sunny Southern California...

Greetings, moms! I enjoyed sharing our son's ceremony and meeting several of you. This week marks the "new" normal--my corpsman son has spent the last nine months away from family (BC, A-School, FMTB). Now, some attention diverts to my second son's preparation for BC in two months. Very soon I'll be departing on that "here we go again" ship!
