Hello, regarding going to the airport on Sat. We did rent a full size car, what we actually get I'm not quite sure. I'm sure enough of us would be going that we can car pool if needed, plus to save on gas and tolls. This is something we can discuss and work out at the meet and greet. I feel the same as you regarding Battle Stations, tomorrow I will be useless at work. Regarding the weather I spoke to one of my employees in Chicago this morning, he said it is supose to be rainy tomorrow into Wednesday, Windy Thursday CLEAR FRIDAY!!! The average temp is suppose to be in the 40's. I posted this a few nights ago, the windchill off that lake can make it feel quite a bit colder. So pack a few warm sweaters. I do look forward to meeting you, try to get some sleep if it's possible.

Thank you very much...we may have a rent a car as well..It will probably be just me to go to the airport. Carpooling would really be ideal for me...I'll even volunteer to be the toll lady !! and do my part for gas! Yes, the weather report sounds pretty favorable!! But we are definately packing for snow just in case hahaha. thanks again for info!! G'night!

Yes still waiting on my "I'm a Sailor Call" they did BS-21 last night, I jump every time the phone rings. This is driving me crazy. I am usless at work today too, although I have all my meetings out of the way!!! Hope he calls while my husband is bringing me lunch that would be good he could talk to us at the same time. My husband is lucky he got Tue/Wed/Thur/Fri off from work, but only 3 days with pay but it was better than nothing. My husband and other son are coming back on Saturday to Texas me and my SR Fiancee are staying up there an extra day "just in case he won't leave until Sunday" but I am not holding my breath.
WTG U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command (off their Facebook Page)
U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command Grad & Go refers to those recruits who are staying in Great Lakes and that is firm. We are in the process of correcting the RDCs who seem to believe that Grad & Go also refers to those recruits flying out of state on Saturday.
Even our trans...portation department no longer uses the term "Grad & Go." The confusion lies in the fact that a couple years recruits also flew out of state on Friday afternoons following the graduation ceremony. RTC stopped doing that a couple of years ago.
So, regardless if your recruit states he/she was told they are Grad & Go and are leaving Saturday, that is the incorrect term for them. They are a Saturday departure.
Other websites using the term Grad & Go for Saturday departures only add to the confusion.
So, once again, here is the official RTC definition as to what is a Grad & Go recruit: Recruits checking into A School at Great Lakes on the same day as graduation.I feel so sorry for them sometimes...
I am so looking forward to just hugging my little Sailor (well really he is 6'41/2" tall) nothing little there LOL.

Good Afternoon Dear, we are also staying until Sunday. Ironically with our sons finance' as well. I'm beginning to wonder if we have the same son, as our's is just over 6"4 and 1/2 just shy of 6"5'.
We booked our flights and hotel the week he left for BC, and at that time did not know when he would be leaving for So. Carolina. Looking at in now I don't know what time their flights will be or how much sleep we'll get Friday night. So that extra day will be a good day to decompress and get our emotions back in check and maybe get some sleep.
Oops almost forgot the most important, I got my call about an hr ago of course as I was on the thruway. Almost got in a wreck trying to get off and answer my phone LOL.
