Ship 02, Div 927 : PIR 5/18/12
Hi there!
I am the mom of a new sailor who is in ship 02, div 927. His PIR date is 5/18/12. We are interested in other folks who have kids graduation within the same division/ship. This is all new to us so we are pretty clueless!! Where to stay, what to wear??? What to do with him after graduation?? Anyone else feel the same? :) Thanks! Donna

I would suggest that you go with Business casual. Remember your Sailor will not be able to remo ve thier uniform wile on leave. You can do a search for entertainment, and find bunches. the RTC is telling the sailors that they can not leave a 50 mile radius. now in that you have lots to choose from just make sure you check the hour and dates open. I hope this helps.

Has anyone received a BattleStations date for 927? I know it is usually either one of two nights, but want to confirm. We can't post the dates on N4Moms but are allowed to private message them. So please friend request/private message it to me if you have one. I will keep a schedule and message it out when finished. Thanks!

Oh Donna, I am so sorry. I was just telling someone today how hard it is when we have to let our children grow up and make their own choices and decisions for their lives yet their choices don't just affect their life only, but also those of us whose hearts are tied to them. Praying that this is an opportunity for real breakthrough and growth into the man he is destined to become.
