so u are saying on that graduation day we need to be on the earliest shuttle to get better seats?
Mary I agree, I think it was because we were in the 900's!
And the Residence Inn has a GREAT PIR packet full of information on places to eat directions and all plus directions to the airports as well.
Yes find out what your new Sailor will be doing at their graduation if they are a 900, Division. We had gotten there at about 0715, and most all of the ground floor was already taken even the 900 Division seating, I am thinking that a lot of people "just sat down" didn't matter what Division their new Sailor was in.
We had a woman whos daughter was an usher (in our section) and she was sitting on our row, and she was getting up every few moments to hug her Sailor and fawning all over her, (to include several other family members) well the RDC's saw this and MOVED her to another place. All's I was thinking about was I sure hope this new Sailor didn't loose ALL of their LIBERTY over her families actions and really her own, as she was allowing her family to hug her like that.
When I hugged my son, when I saw him on the ground floor after the Graduation, once the "hug" had gone the "alloted" time he patted my back and I knew that I had reached the time of the embrace needed to stop.
Please keep in mind anything they do during the PIR they can still loose their liberty or part of it. Or be put on watch while another Sailor gets to take more time away from the Ship with their family.
I am very new to all of this Navy stuff so I apologize for my ignorance. I see from some of the posts that there is talk about "900 Division" and finding out what job the recruit will have during graduation. My son is in Division 231, whatever that means. Are there some recruits that do not participate in the ceremony due to job responsibilities? Wow.... a lot to figure out!
Thank you for sharing this information, it is wonderful having an idea what to expect and problems we can encounter.
