OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

am i allowed to give her a gate pass? cuz i printed like 4 for us just in case we lost any

Comment by diannep on December 11, 2011 at 9:09am

New2Navy.  That is the important question...did all in the division pass...and then post that.  The rest of the conversation is up to you! 

Comment by diannep on December 11, 2011 at 9:07am

Ditto what Lala said about bringing extras!  BRING EM! 

LoveMySailor:  We aren't sure on the date for 017/018, but have phones handy tomorrow just in case they go tonight.  Calls would start coming in about 2 pm GL time...and could go for a while.  Phones in the bras! 

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 11, 2011 at 8:43am

There shouldn't be any problem at all getting in. we took 4 extra people with us and there were 13 divisions graduating. There were lots of extras and they all got in :-). What a wonderful gift you guys are giving her. It fills my eyes with tears to hear of something so nice. Just make sure she goes on bass with you or on a shuttle and if she is not hanging out with you and has her own car make sure she prints a gate pass. Be sure to let us know how the surprise turns out. You and your friend are very special people.

Comment by Brittany♥[Sh11/Div018]♥ on December 11, 2011 at 5:01am

ALSO BECAUSE HER SR IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT SHES NOT GOING CUZ OF MONEY AND TRAVEL, SHE WILL BE SURPRISING HIM WHICH IS A WONDERFUL THOUGHT!! IM SO GLAD I COULD HELP HER :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 11, 2011 at 1:24am

Hi Ladies, What a game today, Huh?  I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Congratulations to 905.  Woohoo!  Awesome job!

I have been MIA for a couple of days, we had a death in my sister in law's family (whom I'm very close too) and then my youngest daughter flew back from college last night.  Woohoo!  But she arrived with a broken laptop and guess who has a final's paper due on Tuesday and hadn't started it yet?  lol  So, mom's laptop has been confiscated for a couple of days.  After this coming Tuesday, I should be on here regularly again, but I have to defer the use of my computer to my baby girl for now.  Luckily, my husband and I had already ordered her a new one for Christmas, but it hasn't arrived yet.   

It's midnight now, and this is the first chance I've had to use my laptop today.  

Comment by Lucy-Kennys Mom on December 11, 2011 at 12:07am

If I understood my SR today 905 won two awards at Captain's Cup. It was so nice to hear his voice again.  :)  C'MON 12-16-11

Comment by New2Navy(Class 1205) on December 10, 2011 at 11:23pm

What questions do we need to ask when they call after battlestations??  I know we need to ask if the whole division passed and isn't there something else as well??  What a special treat to get the extra call he sounded wonderful!!  Can't wait!!
