Navy-mom, Your SR will have the entire weekend, he will have to report back to base each night. Liberty is usually Friday sometime after 3pm until 10pm, and Sat and Sunday 6am to 10pm. Those hours can vary and watch may interfere some, but if you can stay the whole weekend do so.

Hi Navy-Mom! I'm so excited - your SR is in the same division as my SR!! Finally!! LOL I've seen so many that are graduating the same day but so far I hadn't seen anyone in the same division. Yay!
My SR is my daughter - I wonder if they know each other? She had said they can't talk to the boys. LOL Probably a good thing.
I'm so excited about PIR coming up so soon - they are passed their half way point!!
