Maybe it got lost in the mail or thrown out with junk mail. I got mine 2-3 weeks ago. It is small and not very fancy.

Is  your  son  an  MM?  I  was  thinking  maybe   those were the  invitations  that got  sent  out  early.  My  son tells  me  our  names on  our  the  list.  Whta  time  is  the  ceremony?

Hi Betsy,

My sons an EM and our invitation was mailed on June 1st.  It could have easily gotten lost in the mail.  The ceremony is at 9:00 a.m. and it states civilian dress is informal.  I know my son had problems getting mail .  We finally had him get a post office box for his mail and he hasn't had any problem since then.

Did  the  navy  send  you the  invitation  or  did  he   come  from  your  son? If  it is  the  latter,   that  would  explain a lot.  If  he  is   suppose  to  send  it  we  will  proably  never  get   it,hahha. Only  18  more  days  before  graduation!!

Betsy,

The invitation came from the Navy.  The return address is from the commanding officer of the Nuclear Power Training Center Command.  I think the sailors had to give them addresses on who to send the invitations to.

hello all!!

well, the last two finals this week!    i am praying for all of them to do well!!    they will be off school on wednesday.  i asked my son if he had any plans for the fourth.  he said no.  

Another final tomorrow and Colins 22nd Birthday......good luck to all our sailors!

please tell colin we all said "happy birthday"!!!

thanks Tina!

yay! 3.51, 2 down one to go!

Heard  from  my  son this  AM.  He  passed  as  well. I  think he  is  anxious  for all the  tests  to  be  over  and  to  see  his  family!
