Printed my vehicle base pass yesterday for graduation.. I am so excited.... Who else????
Got my call also. All packed and ready to go! So excited.
Received my phone call yesterday as well.. I haven't been posting because I got a bit nervous for my SR when he told me the RDC's had been on here and were checking out our posts. Even though I wasn't using his name they were able to quickly identify who he was because of the information I was posting. Silly me should have known better.
However ladies we have made to the time we have all been waiting for.... graduation day is just hours away. For those of us who live miles away from Chicago our travels may have already began. For myself my, husband, one son & 3 friends of my SR our trip will begin in about 6 hrs or so.
I have re-played the first hug over & over in my head so many times, I am so ready... I hope you all have safe travels and look forward to talking to you in the stands.
Navy Mom Hugs to you all...
Now that graduation has come and gone, hopefully most of you are home and catching up on some most needed sleep, I hope everyone had a great time with their new Sailor. I know our weekend was awesome. We ended up getting an extra day we weren't expecting so that was great. Our seats for graduation we the last row upstairs in what I would commonly refer to as the "nosebleed" section. My favorite part of course 1, being when that big door opened and the divisions started coming in and 2, when they called liberty and I had my shoes in hand- ran down the steps, rounded the corner almost taking out the marching band to get to the floor to my new Sailor.
Congratulations to all those who graduated with an extra big shout out to Division 212 and my own sailor .. So proud of you all.
