DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Yeah, my boyfriend is a Grad and Go as well so I'm also worried about the drive. What is the Navy Lodge? Is it on the base? Good reviews?

Ohkay ladies, well I am staying at the Days Inn North just 2 mi from the base! Reservations made and tickets booked! SOOO EXCITED! This Friday makes it only 3 weeks away!

Question: does anyone know if they are allowed to get phones that weekend, or take their phones with them on the flight to A-School? I'm thinking of getting my boyfriend an iPhone 4 as a graduation present, and I want to make sure he can use it that weekend before spending all that money!

The RTC facebook said they cant take it back to base there with them however you can meet him at the airport and give it to him in a COMPLETELY black (not even logos) backpack. I know my hubby has to be there at like 3am..

It has to be in a backback? Weird. Ohkay. I had heard we had to ship it to them in A-school once they got the privilege of cell phones. I think I'm just going to go ahead and get it for him, and then see what he wants me to do when we get there. Thankss(:

Grad and Go sucks:/ I wish we had the whole weekend for liberty. It's our anniversary that weekend as well so I want to get him like a joint present, but there really aren't many things they can have on base so I'm at a loss for gifts:/

i think it can be any black bag, but the NEX sales backpack maybe. Ive just seen their responses to other ppl  asking on facebook. Then someone said that their Aschool doesnt allow them so I guess its just different depending on where your going.

 

I agree, I was looking forward to spending the weekend with my hubby after being apart so long! now im just going to have to say goodbye again!
