Azula I watched my daughter over and over on 4 graduations. She was set back due to failing the final run but still performed in the graduations before hers. It was a blessing for me and I never missed a graduation viewing. Plan to watch again next week!

Hello everyone!
Thank you for allow me to be part of this group, my daughter PIR is march 22, But I'm sure I saw her on the PIR video this morning, She is part of the 920 division, and she is part of the flag groups, I thought she will do that only on her PIR but I just saw her on the event today, is that possible, am I dreaming... OMG I'm so happy but I just want to make sure is not an illusion, but I'm sure is her, anyone know anything do they do different PIR when they are in charge of the flags??
Thanks for any answer and always grateful for your kind support
Have an amazing weekend everyone, and congratulations to the amazing sailors that. graduate today and their proud families.

@anna.... she had been on hold at a school and just started classes on Monday..... she is 18 and didn't feel comfortable going with the others...told her that was good and she has always been to follow rules ... she has computer and was able to take her ukulele... she loves music and sings. So more time for that I guess.. just bummed as we are cuz she was going to be able to come home for a couple of weeks after schooling and that means delay for coming home....thinking of planning trip to see her

Katski,
So sorry for your girl!!! What a bummer, but sure glad it isn't any worse than that!! So is she at school now but unable to attend because of being on hold?? I guess she could use her time to do some reading!! Does she have a laptop with her? I understand about not being able to hang with the other sailors who go out bar hopping - trust me she doesn't want to get involved in that scene anyway because sometimes the sailors engaging in this activity are not truthful about their age and can get caught doing underage drinking!!! Best to stay clear of that!!! Good luck to her and I hope she heals fast!!!
