SHIP 04, DIV 820 and DIV 821 Brother divisions....
This discussion is for those who have an SR in Ship 04, DIV 820 and 821, PIR 10/14/11. These are brother divisions and will be spending a lot of time together from what I understand. Remember OPSEC rules and for security purposes...no pictures of your SR or names of SR. God bless you all!

Gosh hadnt even thought of hours yet... wow gave me goose bumps. We leave Thurs afternoon- we are only about 3.5 hours north so pretty lucky..,.hope you are able to get in without a problem. My brother is coming "stand by" as well but he also is just about a 45 minute drive so not a biggie-
and you ARE a real mom--- probably more real than many moms out there these days! (I am a foster parent believe me we have seen lots of "moms" ) :) Hope the next 71 hours go smoothly for you all.

Ok, so I'm looking everywhere and people are still getting calls and I won't get a call, his mom will, so I am wondering if anyone knows if all of 820 will be graduating or not. Do you know? I have looked and looked and I can't find it. Sorry to bother you.

RTC said all will pass battlestations- if not initially then they will be worked with until they do- so not suppose to be a big stressor- but I think for us it is knowing that they are done and passed etc... watch for posts- I will also and let you know if I read an "all pass" for 820. My son is 821...

I have a few extra people that are interested in going to the graduation.There's a stand by? Will they possibly let extra people in?

I read on the website that if you have extra people, they have to be with a person who is on the list, but then they have to wait in the visitor's center until all the people on the list are seated and then if there are extra seats, they will let them in. I think that is on the gate pass that you should have printed out, but I know I saw it another place, too, but I can't find it now.

Myson, even your name says volumns. It hurts to see and hear how we can hurt our own kids when we are hurting. I am ashamed to say I have done that on smaller scales, I hope, than the one your sailor's mom is. But it will be hard enough, I imagine, for him to experience that his first mom won't be there. That is a pain only he can know. Your presence will tell him that he IS loved and celebrated and that is a gift he will need so much and that only YOU will be there to give. Blessings!!

Thank you so much. I didn't post the "Only a Step Mom" to be a martyr and to get sympathy. I know the anquish many of you moms must feel and I just didn't want to take any of that away from you. I'm going to leave his birth mother out of the whole conversation this weekend unless he brings it up. I'm just going to let him know how much I love him and how proud I am of him. On a brighter note. Does anyone have suggestions of a graduation gift for my son? I am bringing a scrap book will all the trimmings and will be running out at night getting the pictures printed of the weekend for it. I am not sure if he will be able to take it with him on Sunday or not, but I can always have it made for him to see before we leave. By the way, I am not "Martha Stewart" at all, so I'm hoping I can pull this off. I was wondering if any of you have any other ideas. My son's celebrating his birthday on Monday, too, so it will be a special weekend. Sorry, I think I talk too much.
