Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 8:39am: JessicaB, can you send it again via message? I can't seem to open your request to get the email address?

Thanks.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 8:24am: Thanks Jessica...I appreciate the info.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 8:13am: I don't think so? I don't know when he was supposed to do anything. The only thing his father told me was that he could still graduate on 7/30. He would probably do his BS with a different group, as long as he passed the PFA, and then he could graduate with his class. However, if he passes the PFA he wouldn't call me until after BS on 7/29 and bu then it's too late. Either we would be half way there or we wouldn't make it in time. I don't know this stress in my life. LOL

Comment by livafew (Ship 10 Div 257) on July 28, 2010 at 8:11am: My son finishes BS-21 this morning and I look forward to my phone call today. But most of all I look forward to Friday being able to see him and all the other happy faces at graduation. I want to thank everyone for your help on this site over the last several weeks. The information has been so helpful and I always found my answers to questions I had. I look forward to meeting everyone at Meet and Greet tomorrow night. Wow, it doesn't seem real that we are next! Safe travels to all.

Comment by Linda-Mom to Brian on July 28, 2010 at 8:11am: To Momkoz. There are 2 MA groups that I think you should join. San Antonio MA's and MAA Moms. My son leaves for San Antonio after PIR on 7/30 also.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 8:07am: I have no idea when he was supposed to make it up, because when he got a phone call last Saturday, he called a friend instead of his parents. I imagine I would have known more if he called us. There is another BS tonight into Thursday, so he may do it then...if he passed his PFA. The last time he took it, he failed by 3 seconds. Prior to that he failed by 4 minutes. So, that could be promising. At this point I just want to know something. There is so much at stake with airfare, car travel, etc... If we go Friday and he doesn't pass, I don't think anyone will be there for his "real" graduation.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 7:46am: JessicaB

I don't even think he knows yet. He failed the PFA, so he is able to take it again, but he wouldn't be with his group for BS 21. He might be going to BS with a different group that is graduating on 7/30. They don't finish though until tomorrow morning (I think) and we will already be gone.

Basically he was ASMO'd because of the PFA, but they were giving him an opportunity to graduate with his class.

Comment by Jaz04 on July 28, 2010 at 7:36am: Prayers and best wishes to div's 817, 259 & 260 for BS21 today. I hope I get even a brief call tomorrow, but I know they will need to get some rest and that he will be so excited. He will probably give me a short call then the rest to his girlfriend. That's ok, I get to see him Friday. This is going to be one of the hardest days to work.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 7:34am: Any suggestions? I don't know if my son is going to graduate on 7/30 and probably won't know until the whole family is on their way to Great Lakes. Is there a number I can call or any place I can get information? I feel so lost and I am running out of time.

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
