You are very welcome, ottershort.  That is what we are here for!  These first few weeks in Bootcamp are rough on the families too and we are here to help!  :-)

Thank you so much! Yes I am missing that whole page with the password and list of guests. Unfortunately that is the page she could have written a note at the bottom also :-( I will write to her and let her know I did not get that information. Thanks so much for your help!!!

@Polevaultmom2013 Yes this is the first one to leave the nest. THANK GOD the next one to leave is only 9 so I do not have to deal with this again for a while.

@JakesMom When he called Saturday I could already hear a change in him. He is so grown now and the teenaged surly mouthyness has gone. It was all yes ma'am and no ma'am. I cannot wait to see him again. His baby sister (21 months old (yes my younguns' are spaced WAY out) misses him so bad. She would go and climb in the bed with him in the mornings for snuggs with Bubby. She talks to him on her pretend phone and if she finds something of his she says "Bubby!" and loves on it. He left dog tags with the Lord's Prayer engraved on them hanging on her wall at the foot of her crib. My eldest daughter almost hyperventilated she was crying so hard when we left him at DEP to go to MEP.

Lucky for me I have family in Chicago so I am going a week and a half before graduation. I do not have to worry about the hotel issues that yall are fretting over.

The password is not needed until 11 days before PIR when you can download your gate pass.  This is the pass that will allow you to drive onto the base.  If you use a shuttle, you won't need the pass unless you are dropping off your SR back at RTC that night after Liberty.

The guest lists will be updated by the SRs a week or so before PIR.  Those are the lists that will be at the security gates.  So there is no worry if you don't have a list yet.

If the password was not written in by your SR, please write him/her and ask for it.

you are missing the bottom (front) of the 2nd page and the back of the 2nd page. Contact your SR - copy machine malfunction and they didn't catch it.

@adm402 I'm sure there will be good days and bad days.  This is the first time that I have ever had to deal with this.  I know that it's hard.  But know that you aren't alone.  And you SR is growing and learning and will be even more amazing to you when this is done. (hugs)

Not true, NavyMAMom, although in the past, SRs would put their buddy's family members' names on their lists if their lists had space.  That is not allowed anymore.
