Thanks for the info, Carolyn. Look forward to meeting everyone. N4M has been a wonderful experience for me and I don't think I could have maintained my sanity without all of you folks.

So it is the day before we are set to leave - and the tears are flowing - cannot wait to see my son - I do not know how I will make it through the ceromony!!! Do not forget your cameras, parking pass etc. I was told by a previous grad. that you usually sit in sections in front of your graduates div. - hope this is true!! That way you get to see them.
Look forward to meeting everyone at Meet and greet - anyone from NY and is anyone's grad staying in Great Lakes for A school??? -

Hi all, glad I'm nnot the only one who can't concentrate on anything today. Just not able to believe this is really, already here. Last time I talked to my son, he said he won't be marching in with a div so I probably won't be able to see him from the stands. This is because he is in the staff div of 922, and he is part of the group that escorts in dignitaries.( He said one of the previous PIRs, the vice-admiral of the navy was at the ceremony.) I was a bit unhappy to hear that I wouldn't be able to see him until he told me that because he pipes the whistle as they walk in, he would be up on the jumbo screens. So you all know where I'll be looking the whole time! I'm teary just thinking about it, what a mess I'll be on Friday.
Hope to meet some of you Thurs. at the Ramada, until then!:) -

Collen,
My son Ben is in DIV 922 also, so I'm in the same boat. From what I understand, I can go see my son at 6:30am BEFORE the ceremony. So I will need to sleep really well to be up that early!
