Howdy Div. 274 moms! Graduation does start at 9:00. Here's the schedule (per the RTC website). FYI, when my daughter graduated 2-1/2 years ago, we got to the gate at just about 6:30 and there were about 20 cars ahead of us. There were only 7 divisions graduating that time, though, so it may be different this time around. If you're interested in our PIR experience, you can go to my page and see the blog entry I stole from my husband!

Not to repeat any information just a reminder my son is Kyle, 11/273. I had a Mom offer to take photo's for us but I didn't write her name down. So ladies, anyone takes photo's and gets one or so of our Kyle please message me. Is anyone else's Sailor (that is what they will be when they leave for A school) going into IS in Dam Neck, VA? Almost only three weeks to go. Not sure if he after graduation will leave directly to A school or what the game plan will be. I have inserted a photo of Kyle so you will all know what he looks like if you do get any photo's with him in them. The latest photo we have was taken at a dinner. Please excuse the informal setting. Ladies, thank you and you all have a good day.

I'll be at PIR, I'll try and get a photo of your Sailor for you. Hopefully the whole division will be together. I'd love to get a group shot. My names Sheree btw, and my SR is Jared, my husband.

Many thanks Sheree for also offering photo's of my son. I really do appreciate everything everyone has done and tried to do helping me with Kyles graduation. A special thanks to Sharon, Sandi and Patttea for coming up with idea's. I still am hoping that I win the lotto or come into an inheritance I didn't know I had so I can get there. But we all know that's not going to happen. It is good to dream after all dreaming is free and if it wasn't for people dreaming 235 yrs ago we wouldn't be celebrating our son's graduating from the Navy which celebrates 234 years of service to our great nation on October 13, 2011. It is like my husband who is an ex Sailor everything will work it's self out and it seems it has.

Hi Debra, I talked to you a week or so ago about taking pictures. I don't know how crazy it will be but I will take what i can and get them to you for sure. I sent you a friend request so that i can get more info to send them to but you haven't responded to that yet. No letter from my SR today. Waiting to get responses from him if he knows your son. I'll keep in touch. Patty

Hi! My husband is also in Ship11Div273. His name is Jared. He caught whatever bug is going around there and has been on SIQ call for a few days now. He can't stand it because he's missing out on everything.
I also lucked out on receiving a phone call. My husband said that they scheduled the phone calls in the afternoon, so him and a bunch of other guys went to the doctors in the morning....turns out they switched it to morning and they wouldn't let them call! :(

Boo Hoo....No letter today. I hope one comes tomorrow! And no call since Friday, two weeks ago tomorrow. Anyone else from this Division gotten a call lately? 22 days and counting.....can't wait...soooo excited. Then that weekend will come and go in a flash and have to say good-bye all over again. :(

Received two letters today he was getting ready for this past week which was HELL WEEK. It is Thursday so they are almost finished I think? Did hell week begin on Monday? He is excited and really is thriving with bootcamp although he did say it was hard and real challenge. I like hearing that he is being challenged it's good for the soul. Twenty two day's to graduation! He misses us although I can see in his writting that he isn't the young twenty two year old that left here June 27th. Well gtg thought I would share this with you all.

Yup, Hell week started on Monday... My husband wrote out the schedule: Monday was PFA (weapon turnover inspection), Tuesday was SAMT (Small Arm Marksmanship Trainer), Wednesday SAMT (Live Fire) and Drill Inspection, for Thursday he put 'study?', and Friday is Test#2
