does anyone know when we should be expecting the graduation invitations to show up in the mail?? 

From what others have said on the FB page, I wouldn't expect it until about 2 weeks before.

 

Thanks!

The Invitation is more of an info pamphlet than anything else...your sailor should be able to tell you exactly whats going on....especially if there are any snags along the way

Thanks!! Can wait to get it!! We have our hotel booked for the weekend but are most likey going to drive there again- plane tickets are too expensive!

We're also driving (from Texas). We are blessed to be able to leave on Saturday and arrive Monday. Our sailor says he will be on liberty through Monday and back to work on Tuesday but we are leaving on Sunday.

We have our plane tickets and a reservation at the villas!

 

Mine is in 1303-2 (i think)

How do I address this care package?

EM3 or MM3 or ET3  Last name, first name

We received our invitation to May 3 graduation this weekend too!!  Only 4 more weeks:)

 

We got our invitation from the mailbox today, too! Hooyah!

Can't wait to see my sailor. Christmas seems so long ago.

Unfortunately, he will not be taking leave until June so he won't be coming home with us. But the upside is that we will get to see him for several days around graduation and then a month later he will come home on leave! So we'll get to see him twice which is probably more satisfying in the long run. :-)

Who all is going to the May 3rd graduation? When are you arriving and where are you staying?

We will be in Goose Creek from Monday 4/29 - Sunday 5/5 and are staying st the Days Inn on Red Bank in Goose Creek.
