I still don't think what they told me was right, but oh well... nothing can be done about it now :-) I pulled his actual enlistment papers and they do say that he will be an E-4 after he completes the SB training so I know at least there is a rainbow after this storm! What's a little less pay in the meantime, right??? lol...

JMom,
I have a dress code pet peeve when it comes to official ceremonies, so allow me a moment to get on my high horse. Your Sailor will be in his finest dress that the Navy offers. You should dress accordingly. With that being said, I wore a pant suit with a silk blouse and felt very appropriately attired. My husband and older son wore sport coats and ties. You will see it all!!!!!
At my son's PIR I overheard a Sailor express to his Mother his disappointment in her wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt while he was wearing his finest dress blues for HER. As far as I was concerned, that said it all. -

@ Bob's mom,
Could not agree more. This is a VERY special occasion.

Okay ladies, I don't know how instant messaging works, but can someone IM me and tell me what they know about Battlestations date and when we might receive the "I am a sailor" call? Oh, and I guess I need someone to tell me how I find that message :-) Has Div 812 received 6 flags? Did I read that correctly? I have been out of town this last week and I am trying to get caught up on all the news. Glad to hear another family member should be able to get into graduation. I can't remember who posted that, but thank you to you for letting me know. Any help with Battlestation news is much appreciated!
