My daughter had her PIR on 9/22 and arrived for MA A-school on 9/23. She said her graduation date is 11/22. I'm looking forward to learning more about this part of her journey and couldn't be more proud of her!

Any one going to MA graduation anytime soon? My son graduated last Oct. (2016). I would like to get a challenge coin from there. We were going to pick it up at the NEX and saw what we wanted. However, there was a HUGE issue with his class and graduation was delayed by 6 hours. So, when graduation was finally over he had NO desire to go anywhere but home, so we didn't get to go back to the NEX. If anyone would be willing to pick up one for me, I would be more than happy to send the money and the shipping for it.
