I have to agree with CatMom. We decided to be "smart" and wait in our seats in the bleachers for my son to see us. We had not let him know about this...it was a last-minute decision. The bleachers clear in about 1 minute, racing cattle-herd style (watch out!). So here we were, the only ones in the bleachers, still hadn't spotted our sailor during the entire PIR....after about 2 minutes, we realized we better go looking for him since he still was nowhere to be found. When we did find him, he was just standing there talking to his shipmates! He said he had been so nervous during PIR, that he had not scanned the bleachers for us...looking straight ahead just to keep his focus.....HA! So he probably wondered if we really were there???? So, yes, it is best to arrange this beforehand with your sailor....and go to him/her at Liberty Call!
Good Morning!

Good thing to point out, ellen0502!
Ladies, please careful of stilettos or any really high heels. You will be going up and down metal bleachers and the walk from the graduation hall to the NEX is not close~~ I would rather be cute and comfortable!!

Suggestion for your soon-to-be Sailors:
Write and tell them to stay put in their places and wait for you to go to them, since most of you have a good idea where they were standing and they have no idea whether you ended up in the upper or bottom bleachers. Beats you both milling around for each other~~ :)

Good to remember the heels (or lack of) ladies, you are walking a great distance, climbing and sitting on bleachers. :)
