Good morning everyone in Div 067 & 068 --- Boy it's getting close!
I thought it might be fun if everyone shared where they will be traveling from to get to Great Lakes, how they are getting there and what their SR will be doing after graduation. I'll start...
We will be driving to GL from Nashville, Tennessee. Our reservations are at The Navy Lodge and our daughter will stay in GL for electrician's school.

Good Morning -
I can't believe I just found this site! We are flying in from Florida and can't wait to see my son. He will be heading to A School in South Carolina only a 4 hour drive for us to visit:). Look forward to meeting other families.
Where can I find information on the meet and greets? Find I am a little technically challenged on this site.
Thank you -

Hi Navymom63. This site is kinda hard to maneuver but once you're on awhile you will get the hang of it!. I'm pretty sure that on your main page to the right Sarge will post the meet and greet link when it gets closer to the 24th. He is also a member on the PIR 24-01-2014 Facebook page and can give you info there too. If you are on facebook, search Navy for Moms and you should be able to connect there once you are a member of that group.
Welcome! Glad you found us!

We are leaving some time Sunday morning. Thought we would get our daughter and have breakfast with her then head back to Tennessee. Now, THAT is going to be hard to do...leave her AGAIN UGH!

we planned to leave Sunday early afternoon but wasn't sure about it but I guess we will leave it the same and go ahead and leave that Sunday an oh yeah it is going to be so hard to leave him again, but at least BC will be over and they will be in school and have a little more freedom, cell phones an computers, Skype time!!!
I am going to be ordering his PIR coin but he is already an E3, so don't know if he goes up in rank after graduation, I don't think so but will have to check with him
