Most of us have been posting discussions segregated by ship and division, but maybe we can get to know each other based on our PIR date--we will all be in Great Lakes on the same weekend.

navywife - I know you have to put the password in all caps. Other then that I don't know. We stayed at Ramada and they had a whole stack of them at the front desk to use or find someone in the same PIR and have them print one for you.

Well I am finally checking in after graduation last weekend. It was amazing. My tears started flowing when we were pulling into the base and I saw some divisions marching. Sorry, I don't know which ones they were their flags were at a bad angle for me to see the div #. I did want to give a shout out to a mom from OK. We took a Steve out to breakfast with us on Sunday. His family was not able to make it to graduation. So if you are from OK and have a 6'6" son Steve I gave him hugs for you. I also gave hugs to all of the Sailors at graduation that that did not have family there.
Good luck to all of the div doing battlestations this week!
