hello!
My SR is graduating on July 6th. He is is Ship 09 Div 205. I have a few questions of how this graduation is going to work. First we need to get a parking pass but I do not have a password. where do I find this password? Next he is leaving for A-School on the 7th. He said that we need to get an airport pass to go with him to his gate. Where do I find that? Also what do we need to bring to graduation? Just a Photo I.D. to get in? Next what time do we even have to be there? I'm sorry about all the questions, but I do not have much information and I'm sort of stressing out about it. If you can answer any of my questions that would be great! Thank You!

First of all, just breathe! :)
Password was on form letter that was sent with his address and Grad info. I think that is the only place to get it, unless you can find another SR family that will share. Airport pass you get at airport, need your Photo ID to get thru security and Photo ID what you will need to get into graduation. The Grad starts around 9am, I think, but you will want to get there earlier to get good seats! Most of the hotels have free shuttles to grad. That is what I would suggest, less stressful and no gates to go thru! Hope this helped! Don't worry about all the questions, we all had them! That's why N4M's is the greatest! Good luck & congrats to your Sailor!
