This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

Not all divisions are represented here. I've found that most divisions are represented by 8-10 family members, and every once in a while, there are none. We had one division last year, we began to wonder if it was real because no one ever joined N4M who had a recruit in that division.

Hi all, I apoligize for not getting back to you earlier... We celebrated an early Christmas Eve since we are leaving on the 24th to stay with family out of state.
Ok the original lady who told me about the "group" discount was incorrect. The sales guy informed me that there is no "group" discount on the PIR prices they already have set. So they cannot combine any other discounts.
So if you are planning on staying at the Residence Inn-Marriott here is the PIR pricing...
Studio-79.00
1 Bdr- 99.00
2 Bdr-134.00
All rooms are suites with full kitchens, which is nice if you plan to cook any favorite meals for your future sailor.
Every morning there is a FULL breakfast, no continental stuff!!
There is also a shuttle available. The mall is close by along with other restaurants.
Again sorry for the delay and information.. it was pretty frustrating for me too!
Celebrating tonight really put me in a sad mood missing my son! I will close with my favorite BC saying.... HIS dream, MY heart.
Have a great night everyone!

Have you heard back from Residence Inn about the group rate? I've looked for the posts trying to find the information. Thanks Mamawalrus so much for organizing this. It sure makes it easier for me and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

If any of you have a picture of your recruit as your profile picture, you might want to change it for now while they are in boot camp. The RDC's have been know to go onto N4M and see if they can find pictures of their recruits in their division. They have been known take that information and use it against the recruit. We all want our recruits to breeze through bc with no problems from their RDC's.
