I know this is exactly how I feel, I could not focus at work yesterday thinking of her but I know she's ok..It's tough on them at first but I have faith that both of our girls are doing better by now. My son received a letter from my daughter yasterday and she seemed a little more upbeat... Have you already found a flight???? I really need to get on top of that.

Congrats on the letter, glad he is doing well!
Double check what he means exactly. You see the recruits really graduate when they pass Battlestations...their final test. When they do, they have a capping ceremony and switch their ball caps that say "RECRUIT" to ones that say "NAVY". It is a very moving ceremony for almost all! PIR...Pass-in-Review...is the ceremony for the whole Training Group...the ones that family and friends attend.
PIR dates for whole divisions and TG's do not change...according to the RTC Family Guide anyways!
From RTC Family Guide:
While a division’s graduation date will not change, an individual Recruit’s graduation date may change based on performance,
Now this is in their Guide...but as we all know...they can change anything at anytime!
So, please double check with him by letter or when you get a call!

Ok ladies, here is what I have been able to find out so far. Go Express will pick you up at the airport and take you to any hotel (charges differ depending on which you choose) the lady said the Red carpet Inn is the most common though so gave me the rates for 2 people from the airport @ $55. I also called the red Carpet Inn and asked about the shuttle from there to the graduation she said it will leave going the the Navy base at between 6-7am. Sounds good but if our recruits are allowed to leave the base after the ceremony wouldn't have any transportation to do anything. SO What do you do then?

Hi Beteboop,
I got a second letter from my daughter yesterday, so you might get one today.. I was happy to hear that she seemed a little more upbeat in this one, but still says it extremly hard. She was excited that she passed the swim part of the fitness test but struggles on the run 13 laps in 15 min. she said she's at 17 mins but really working hard to get it down because refuses to be defeated... I love that don't give up attitude...I see real growth in her letter.

Master-at-Arms (MAA). That's great. If she does a good job there is a possibility that her RDCs will promote her if she is E1 or E2....
My daughter called last night and she is the RPO (Religious Petty Officer). She probably won't get a promotion but she is loving the shiny collar device she gets to wear.
