does anyone staying at the ramada know when the shuttle to the graduation is????
i am so excited to see my SR but i'm also excited to hopefully meet some of you.... i read in a letter that the division is coming together as a family and that they are preparing for their final tests and BS so lets all hope and pray that they can work together as a family!
Glad to hear that they are coming together as a family... I was hoping they would have won the captains cup so we could have heard their voices.  We will see them in less than a week.   Are you going to PIR by yourself?
I'm new to all this. My boyfriend is on Ship 12 Div 311.
We have already made the plans to go up there and we have our hotel. But I'm confused about the way graduation day is suppose to go. His parents have been to Army grads for his cousins but Navy grads go differently from what I have been told.
Can anyone give a quick run through on how the day before grad and graduation day is suppose to go?

baby girl go to recruit training command home page they lay out the morning but this is kinda how it goes       gate opens at 6.30  get there early  you have to be in your seat by 8.45  door opens at 9.00 liberty called at the end about 10.00 or 10.30 but go to this page and go to families it is full of info

 

I have looked at that page lol, thats how I got confused.
Its liberty I am confused about. They have a liberty call at the end of the ceremony. Is that when we first get our SRs? Because it said somewhere on there about how they wont get there first day of liberty till Saturday.

My mind is all over the place. I practically planned our trip and just had to give his parents all the important dates and stuff. So everything has pretty much been jumbled together.
unless he has A school in GL he should have liberty at the end of PIR he most likely will be leaving on Sat for his A school most do if he has A school in GL he will have to check in his school first and that can take some time         Yes you will get a big hug when they call Liberty  just remember not to get make up on his dress whites   lol     god Bless
His A school is in FL, it doesn't start till October though he said his plane will leave the Monday after graduation.
You might be able to spend some time with him on Sunday.  You think???

liberty call is basically, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, but basically he get to leave the base and you get to spend the day with him til he has to be back later that night...

 

and go to the RTC website and you can look at the rules for their Liberty call here is the link

I am hopping that all the test are over the letters were written last sunday and monday my SR gave this order of test

inspections,    test 3,    PFA,    and battle stations     if we are right on date of BS   dont you think the other test are over    I hope so  that way they can just think of BS  this week     Hope to see all  that can come at the meet and greet    Light your blue candles and keep praying

We got letters yesterday, he said that his tests were over. I believe he said that all they had left was the gas chamber and battlestations then they are done.
