Well I ordered 2 coins today.  I order a navy spouse for his wife.  I got my son the Fair Winds and Following Seas with NNPC 1104 and Oct 7, 2011 engraved on it.  It was a very small space...lol  I had gotten him the rank one when he graduated from OCS and he won't reach another rank for a year.  I hope this one is ok for this graduation.  Good thing is, he knows his mom.  I can hear him now..."well you know mom, she always forgets something".  So he will love the thought even if its wrong....At least I didn't get him a surface one....lol
my husband is in 1104 section 9 =)

Wow...I didn't know there were that many section's.   How many are in each section?   I guess this is going to be a pretty big graduation.

 

That is also my daughter's class and section :)

 

if I remember right my husband was asking me if I can handle a party for 20-30 people... so Im guessing its around that size per class... if he is still awake right now I would ask him. And yes Power School graduation will be held outside because there are 10 sections(I think) that will be graduating...
My son, David is 1104-8.  I think most of the sections started with 40 sailors.  He said that not everyone that started is still in the program.  In any event it will be a large graduation.  I sure hope the weather is good on 10/07.  We surely don't want any hurricanes.  I'm getting pretty excited.  We just made plane, motel, and car reservations tonight.  Just one month from tomorrow.

I can't wait either!  yay!

 

Our son Dan is 1104-6 ... I'm psyched, too! Please don't say the "h" word again ... the rain right now in Penna from Lee (JUST a storm, ha!) is worse than what we got from Hurricane Irene so far. I am trying not to fret, the last time my husband and I both went away for a few days together, leaving the farm, Murphy's Law kicked in ... a mare miscarried twins and the farm-sitter was totally freaked out. I just keep saying to myself, "no worries." Graduation, here we come!

yes, my son is section 11.

 

No worries for hurricane, our weather right now is so great to think there would be a hurricane, just couple more weeks =) I will ask my husband when he comes home about how many section they are in 1104 and how many sailors they are per section... =) Just letting you all know, the graduation will be outside so dress up appropriately to the weather and if it rains they will let us to the building. That is what they have been doing to the past couple Power School graduation.
I believe there are 11 sections and about 30-35 per section.  Just depends how many have fallen off so far.

Wish I was on the plane now, so excited I must be driving everyone nuts @ work lol. My son said there will be some where around 340 to 350 give or take @ graduation last night when I talked to him. Is there gonna be a meet and greet? I rarely leave post but I live for this sight, you all have helped me get thru the good times and made me laugh thru the tough times:-) I had not heard to much about getting together so was just wondering if I some how missed that part.
