Just came back from my daughter graduation and WHAT AN AWESOME DAY!!!! It was such a wonderful Day watching the new Sailors and seeing my daughter which was in the band just brought so much joy and tears!!! I couldn't stop crying. I got to spend that day with her and she had to be back by 7:45. One of her shipmates had watch right after graduation until 4 so we went and picked up her friends so they could have some liberty time too. It was so awesome. She is happier than I think I have ever seen her. I was able to meet a few of the moms on here which was great... Especially Kat :) We stayed in Courtyard Marriot which was not far at all and they set us up with a Shuttle to the graduation and was only 3.00 per person and OH MY is it worth it. We had no problems at all. The hotel was wonderful and clean and friendly. We had a team of kids stay our last night there and caused some havic but that was no way the hotels fault lol I would highly recommend them. Also we rented a car from Alamo and it went very smooth and they were very friendly as well. I am very glad we rented a car so we could take our Sailor around and visit the city. She left the next morning for the airport at like 3 am so we were able to meet her at the airport and give her a few of her things including her phone which was very wonderful because we get to talk to her all the time now... makes me so happy to feel like she hasn't been kidnapped anymore lol She went to FL and was able to have a few days off which she spent unpacking, watching a movie, shopping for things she needs and oh yea running a 5K!!! She is doing awesome and is so happy. She looked so beautiful and so did all the Sailors giving such a tearful and wonderful graduation ceremony. If you have any questions about the graduation or any other parts of the boot camp experience please feel free to ask and I will help in any way possible. It does get better and now she is a US Sailor!!!!

Here are some pics that I took maybe you will see your SR in the 900 Div. I tried to take as many as I could but ended up not being very many.
