My daughter is Kayla. Did you know that the 900 division performs in the graduation? I understand they also perform our help with the two graduation's before theirs. So we can look at posted video's to see if we see them. Oh I can't wait for a real litter from her! I'm so excited for her.

You don't NEED a shuttle, however a lot of people choose to take one to PIR (or just grab a cab). Personally, I liked driving there myself that way my son wasn't crunched into a van with a lot of people while wearing his Dress Whites!! And, he was a Grad & Go, so every minute was precious and I didn't want to waste any of it waiting on a shuttle.

So when will we know if she is a grad and go. We hate to book our hotel for 4 days and not a refund. or will they give us one for that kind of reason?

Hi,
We just booked the Courtyard Marriott; call for the best rates no matter what hotel coz online they don't have the Navy rates. I would have been fine with a cheaper hotel, but the husband thought that a little more space may be appreciated by our recruit; it sounds like most kids just want to hang out on that Friday anyhow. The important thing is to make sure of the cancellation policy, the Courtyard lets you cancel up to 6 pm the day of check in; some have penalties, but not here (at least that's what she told me on the phone!)
I didn't book airfare yet, though! -
