My son told his fiance that he will graduate on November 1st as planned, but if the shutdown is still happening he may not get his orders, and if that happens he will stay at PH until he gets his orders. That will delay his homecoming, but he is still guaranteed two weeks. It will just be later than planned. Thank heavens he was more than half way through his schooling.

I Haven't heard of any delays from my son or when he is graduating either, he said he would only get a two week notice, when he gets his orders? I'm totally confused and don't know much, his calls are always rushed, it's hard to ask much!

Well new updates as of last night. My son leaves PH Friday to fly to St Louis and two weeks R&R with family and fiance. Nov 8th they will exchange vows and start their life together but apart. He then leaves for arms training at Gulfport for 3 weeks or so, due to his unit being deployed overseas. After Gulfport it's one day at a time.

I am thanking all the powers that be that my son was not at LAX when that selfish man tried to commit suicide by police. However his actions did disrupt the airlines flights and now my son's 5pm flight yesterday became a 9:30am flight today. I will get a much needed hug at 4:30pm today. I am hoping none of your children were in harms way yesterday.
