Make sure to be checking their FB accounts too on Christmas Day when they may be adopted out. They may be able to call and FB as well. So keep all methods of communication open that day! Some get to call you several times during the day with borrowed cells!

Maggie, this might help. I found it on the Navy RTC site. I have never attended a Naval graduation before, so I hardly consider myself an expert. Lol.

Most people say that it helps to get there as early as possible so you can have a good seat...it packs out quickly.

If you are Facebook active, go and "like" the page "Sailors for Christmas" It will have pictures of our divisions 051/052 posted! This is the group that has adopted out these divisions!! My daughter received a call from her husband this morning from the bus - they were on their way!! Evidently people just give them cell phones to use! They talked for almost an hour! Praying for all of you to receive a phone call!!

I was just on there....my son told me to like the Paige. I am hoping to catch a glimpse of him. It was funny to get a text from him!! Had a wonderfully long phone call before that. I am sure he misses the normal family stuff we do for Christmas, but he truly sounds happy. Made my day.

We are at Great Lakes! My son and his friend are just relaxing in the hotel room. They've skyped and facebooked and called friends and family. I wish this day wouldn't end! Sorry I've been missing for a while. My sister moved and my step-daughter came into town...so needless to say we've been busy!

I get to talk to him almost every day he is hoping for Monday now. He will be released as an early release not discharged and if he wants to get a waiver reenlist in 6 months. They had a career man come in and talk to the guys to encourage them to follow their dream even if it does not include the military. So now he is talking about going to school to be a chemist, he has always excelled in chemistry and he loves it so who knows maybe a new path is set? Whatever it is he has my support and I know he will do well.
