am i allowed to give her a gate pass? cuz i printed like 4 for us just in case we lost any
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!
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!
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.
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 :)
ALSO....
IF THERE ARE ONLY 5 DIVISIONS WHAT ARE THE ODDS OFF THERE BEING MORE SPACE FOR PPL NOT ON THE LISTS OF THEIR SR'S?? IM HELPING A FRIEND FROM MY SUPPORT PAGE, SHE COULDNT AFFORD TO GO SO I FOUND SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO HELP HER FINANCIALLY, AND SHE'S GONNA STAY WITH ME IN MY HOTEL ROOM, . BUT SHE'S NOT ON HIS LIST CUZ HE HAS 2 SIBLINGS AND 2 PARENTS ON IT.... SHE'LL WAIT OUTSIDE IF SHE HAS TO BUT IM HOPING SHE'LL BE ABLE TO GO IN IF SPACE IS AVAILABLE.....
WHAT DO YALL THINK???
any word on battlestations for 11/018??
i packed last tuesday!! lol
im afraid i may be at work when he calls but i only work tomorrow (sunday) and tuesday of the coming week so maybe not..... who is staying at Navy Lodge?? i am, and who is going to Sarge's Meet and Greet? i think we are!!!
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.
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
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!!
