Hi, all. My son is in Atsugi w the HSC-12 Golden Falcons. Anyone else from there?
Proudmama.. We haven't graduated yet, but it should be soon.
Thanks for your interest
Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!!
Happy Mother's Day to all of you! Thanks to all the wonderful Vet moms who guide us throughout this pipeline and share this journey for those of us who are not as far in the pipeline!
Thanks Melissa! I truly appreciate the info! Congrats to your son! I am excited for you!
proudmama - it's my understanding that your son has to do the booking at the Navy Lodge, and that he should do it as far in advance as he possibly can. He should be able to ask them about changing the booking based on graduation dates.
My son passed his boards!! One more flight to go and then those gold wings are all his. Can't wait to see him with those pinned on his chest.
Good morning everyone! Some in this group are being deployed in the very near future. Blue candles for them!
My son is Romeo so it feels like A school just keeps going and going and going....my son's group (squadron?) is to graduate in August. How do you book a hotel room at the Navy lodge when they book up so far in advance? I can book a room now based on my son's projected graduation date, but it is likely to be moved by a week or two...or so I have heard... Any advice?
Salty Ocean- How was your son's graduation? Were you able to book a room fairly easily?
Congratulations to you and your son Grace. Travel safely and enjoy your visit!
Congratulations Grace! Where in Texas are you traveling from?
Congrats Grace on your son's graduation. Safe travels!
