My SR is a grad and go. After reading through conversations on this site, It appears that I will be able to spend time with her at the airport while she waits for her flight and I will be able to give her cell phone to her at that time. I just want to confirm with someone that when she arrives at A school in Pensacola she really is allowed her cell phone from the start. Also, would she be allowed to have a backpack with a change of clothes (civilian clothes & tennis shoes)?? Or will…

I'm broke. And not only am I broke, I have nowhere to turn. I wish Popeye could help me out. Especially since when he was broke I was always the one who helped him out. But he can't, he's all the way in Illinois. My parents can't help me out because they're just too busy. And my friends just won't and I wouldn't ask them to. I would never ask Popeye either but I know he would help me because he loves me and he knows I've…

My heart hurts. I don't know why some days are so hard in comparisson to the others, but today is one of those days. Why do I have to be the one left behind?
