We got a 5 min. phone call to tell us that we would have the extra ticket that we needed for PIR. He sounded exhausted, and a bit distracted, lost his voice during Capt. Cup today. All that is left is the Fire Training and BS. and he said that he is looking forward to seeing us on Friday.

*******************************Graduation information**********************************
I just copied and pasted this from the Recruit Training Command Facebook page.
gates open at 6:30 a.m. and the ceremony begins at 9 a.m. Depending on the size of the graduation, the line of cars getting onto the base may or may not be long. If there's about eight or fewer divisions graduating, the line will move fairly quick. However, if there are about 11 or more divisions graduating, the line will be long and you'll want to arrive early.
No one will be allowed onto the base before 6:30 a.m., so if you arrive prior to that, you'll have to wait inside your vehicle lined up outside Gate 8 which is on Ohio Street.
As a reminder to all: Be sure you have your vehicle Gate Pass which allows you to bring your vehicle onto the base. You will not be allowed onto the base without it.*******************************************************************************

Leslie, I would say that a newborn sailor son would definetely trump brothers. lol
Penny, Cindy & Lala, stay warm and please don't share that white stuff with GL. lol

Lori, I bought long underwear and I live in NM. I guess we can't be too prepared, right?
