Comment by Momof1 on Friday: Chipmunk - it’s so true, you’re right. It doesn’t just apply to us, our sailors have to remember it as well. Hope all is well with your kids?!

Comment by Chipmunk on Thursday: Momof1 - It doesn't just apply to us, it also applies to our sailors as well, as my kids were reminded of something they had to deal with today!

Comment by Momof1 on Thursday: Thank you for the continued support MomofJoseph and Chipmunk. This group helped in a big way with remembering the motto, Semper Gumby 🤗🥰

Comment by MomofJoseph on Thursday: Momof1 - I didn't remember hearing your story either! But I love your amazing attitude about it!

Comment by Chipmunk on Thursday: Momof1 - Rolling with the waves!! And that was a really HUGE wave!! I don't recall hearing your story either. I am glad you all are doing well.

Comment by Momof1 on Thursday: DsMom2020 - I am so glad that you noticed it and were able to make sure that his name would be called. Nice Mom work!!

We were so upset because our son had worked so hard and we wanted to celebrate that moment before we hit the road for the next leg in BS. I spoke with so many people during an after not only trying to make it right in the moment, but to try to make sure it didn’t happen to anyone else in the future. Our son was just so happy to have us there even if we couldn’t be in the audience cheering for him. I did check out the video afterwards and was able to save the spot where he walked, and it was so awesome to hear other folks cheering for him on our behalf, knowing that we couldn’t get in. All is well that ends well and the result was the same, he graduated!! Fast forward to the end of prototype in February, another graduation. We were able to attend even amidst the multiple snowstorms and we got to cheer and clap for as long and as loud as we wanted to. They really make it about the sailors and their supporters for that one. We are actually headed to his duty station this weekend after having him home for a whole month and that missed graduation is just a blip on the radar.

Comment by DsMom2020 on Thursday: Momof1 - wow…, I don’t remember hearing your graduation story before. That had to be so upsetting. My heart hurts you and all the other families that were denied entry.

When my son graduated power school, we were early and noticed his name wasn’t on the program. We insisted he ask his chief. there was a paperwork issue and they would not have called his name!! They had to make sure he’d really finished (and he had, 2nd right behind honorman!!). They checked and it got fixed and his name was called but the program could not be fixed. I thought that was bad but your story is worse.

Comment by Momof1 on Thursday: AZ_RACCOON - Our son graduated Power School last August. There wasn’t a limit on number of guests at the time so four of us submitted our usual information, Name, Address, SSN, Phone Number. My MIL made sure she got her real id. We ordered small (quiet) rechargeable fans from Amazon to battle the heat. There was seating under shade we were told. We never made it in due to a huge administrative error the day we attended, hundreds of families were turned away even though all of our information was up to date and submitted early/on time. Some people got in and some people did not so please be prepared for anything. Our son confirmed there was seating but it was very very hot as it is indeed outside unless there is inclement weather. Congratulations to your daughter!!!!
