I'm on my phone .. Small screen horrible for my horrible typing so sorry.. But reading all these comments is making me so jealous envious sad mad etc.. I tried the recruiters cell and office number still no answer!.. I realize it's a treat to get info early but geez I never bugged him during DEP you'd think he'd be there for me ;).. Boohoo! I miss my son so much.. Made hotel reservations today still need flight and car.. So expensive but I can't wait .. Anyway just waiting for PIR letter and trying not to cry every time I see a trigger .. Thanks for listening :)

Momof5, amazing deal on airfare! It costs more than that to fly two adults out of Montana. So needless to say we are flying out of Spokane. I agree with you...time does need to just hurry up!

Dakota's Mom, thanks for the confirmation. Brandon had just sent a message with it as well. You guys are great!

I have not yet gotten the form letter but I booked the flight with travel insurance- it was only $1100 for 6 people- so happy with that!   Getting excited.  Found a great hotel deal and I booked a mini van.  Making progress- now if time would just hurry up.

Race's mom, Brandon's mom got her letter and it said Ship 09 as well. I would go with the letter. We are going with Ship 09 Div 267.

808mom:  Europe!  wow!  I will do whatever I need to do to help you out!  Let me know!  I am defiantely going to Grad, we are div 262, ship 11, but i will try and find your son and give him a big ol MOM hug if you want me too!  and take pics!  It would probally be easier for someone in your sons division, but I will definately do that if you cannot find anyone elese!  My oldest is getting out of the navy this year, next month to be exact, and moving to Arizona, he has a job waiting on him there.....its not Texas but its a heck of alot closer than Hawaii!  By the way I LOVE hawaii!  been 6 times to visit....love it there!  Let me know if I can help!

808mom --  my oldest son, that graduated boot in 2003, is and has been in hawaii since 2005, all three of his children (my grandchildren) have been born there and his wife is(was) navy also.  I feel your pain on the price of tickets to/from hawaii.  I hate it that you will not be able to attend, but here is some information that might be of help.  MWR (morale welfare and recreation) at RTC has a "care package" they will GIVE your sailor the day of graduation, i can't remember exactly whats in it, but you can go to this sight -  http://www.mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/rtcgraduation.htm  and order it, its like 20.00....  it is for grads who parents can't make it, but ANYONE can order them, i got my oldest son one of these and they gave it to him right after grad....i think he has to pick it up at the NEX....you can ask them when you order it......just an idea!
