still waiting for my phone call from my daughter (SR). In her first phone call she asked me to make my return flight on Saturday night or even Sunday because I could see her at the airport when she flies out. I found on the site somewhere today under past PIRs that once they grad they can be dropped off at any of 3 airports at any time, ealry as 1 a.m.) and stay there until their flights any time on Sat. That's what I have figured out on my own.

Zully,
Glad your here! We are just throwing out things we've heard from our SRs. So far I think everyone in this division is Grad n' Go. Which I asked my husbands recruiter what that usually means and he said "usually they graduate Friday and leave Saturday morning-ish" But they could still leave anywhere fom immediatly after PIR to late saturday. And you can spend time with them at the airport.

Thank you :) and yeah so far that's what i heard from him too. But he'll be going to Mississippi for A-School.
What do we need to do to be able to spend time with him at the airport? :)

My son, Josh, is in the same Ship/Div as your husband. My daughter in law is experiencing the same woes. What is your email address? I will try to get you two connected. Message me if you want.

Got a letter Thursday saying for sure he flies out sat. I was glad to hear that! as for staying at the airport i'm pretty sure you just go. not sure where you'll be but i've heard numerous times that that's what everybody does, sits with their SR at the airport. I know at o'hare there is a USO where they go but i think only military wives can go in there because you have an ID. Not too sure about any of this though so don't quote me! ha ha! Anybody have any good ideas about something fun to do with your SR and family?
