Question about Graduation
I was wondering I was reading in the handbook that they are going to ask for vehicle registration What if you are renting a car and also how many cars can get in the base on one gate pass? My son wrote his 4 names down do you think they will allow more family in?
Thanks any input will help

That's really nice you'll have 2 sailors!
I think it gets colder (over there by the lake) than you would expect. I had taken a cotton sweater along just in case and ended up wearing that over my blouse plus my raincoat! We spent the day at the mall close by and a car museum just a few miles away so we could stay inside. It was sure nice to see him and know he was doing OK. Right now, he's in C school in Pensacola. Is your daughter on her job assignment yet? What jobs will they both do?

Wow! Three sailors! My uncle and a close friend of my dad's were both sailors. One of my cousins has a daughter in the Air Force and that's about it for my family. Our son is in Cryptology (CTR) and will be assigned to a destroyer in the spring. I hope he likes it. We don't know much about what he's learning and he can't tell us either. He's an E3 also with that college degree.
Yeah, we were at that same mall that day. We ate at Ruby Tuesday and we bought one of those remote control helicopters for my father-in-law for Father's Day. He's crazy about those things!
I hope you have decent weather for your son's PIR.

There is a Meet & Greet at Ramada on Thursday before graduation, but that's all I've ever heard of.

You can print as many parking passes as you wish. It has been said not to give blank passes to others. When ya type your password...it'll open the parking pass. Ya fill in the requested info.
