Bayswan- Congrats to your son! I know you must be so proud and excited for him:)
MoAngel- Congrats to your son. I know that you are very proud of him! How exciting that he broke a record! What record did he break:? Glad that he received the assignment that he wanted.
Melissa-Glad to hear your son is NOT on med hold... hope he graduates soon. Are the guys/gals ill or are their injuries during that phase in the training? How gratifying it is to hear your son feeling happy with his choice to go AIRR. I think as a parent, that is my biggest hope- that all my children feel fulfilled with their career choices.
Jodi- Congrats on your son finishing up FRS...Hoping he will know where he is going next very soon! I think sometimes the waiting is the hardest part!
My son, Eaglemom's son and NavyWife13's hubby are all in class together! Week 3 of RSS coming up! Any hints from the vet moms as to what to expect?

Bayswan, I think our boys stood by each other at graduation. Does your son's last name start with a T? My son's last name starts with an R. We are from the same state you are.
Thank you so much! I would love to have some pictures. I really wish I could have been there to watch, but it just wasn't possible this time.
Be glad you are enjoying some nice weather. We are expecting ice, sleet, and snow this weekend. I am sick of winter!!!!
I forgot to send the email address when I sent the friend request, but I will message it to you as soon as you accept my request. Thanks again!

MoAngel1967 - I am here and was at RSS graduation today. I took quite a few pics and can share with you. Send me a friend request here and an email address and I'll get some to you.
The RSS graduation was great today. Our son graduated as "Honorman" for class 1405 A Team. He also got a Sierra assignment which was what he hoped for. It was awesome! Looking forward to spending a few days in the warmer weather with him before we head home.

Melissa, is your son a Sierra or a Romeo? My son is completing FRS in Jacksonville. He has a few more trainers and then he's done too. I hope he gets his orders soon so we know where he will end up. I hope your son gets to graduate with the class ahead of him. I think at this stage of the game they are ready to get out and put into practice all they have been learning. I wish him good luck.
