How certain are we that the PIR is 11/26/14, and will they be able to spend Thanksgiving with their families? Also, those who are going to school in Florida, when will they have to leave. Finally, any suggestions on hotels in the area?

Pretty certain. I asked my son's recruiter because I expected the ceremony to be on a Friday. They told me to go by the date on the letter. Then i sent an email and found out they leave Friday for A school. They do get to hang out with us on Thanksgiving. My concern is what to do when everything will likely be closed.

How awesome for your Dad - I know that will be so special for your SR, too. Still need to work on car rental and Thanksgiving dinner, but at least we will get there and have a place to sleep!

Gi Proudgrandmom if you got the Form letter the divisions will graduate on that date. If for some reason your SR is held back you will get a call that could be anything like getting sick, failing a test and so on. With that in mind I'm confident the group will all graduate together and why not its our kids in there! Hotels there is quite a few Residence Inn has the kitchenette, Navy Lodge but you gave to call to make the reservations. There are other Springhill suites, red carpet inn, Days Inn, Sleep Inn, Courtyard, Ramada....I am sure there is more lol!! Happy to have you in the group what div? We also do get Wed and Thursday with our SR of course taking them back before curfew and we can meet them at the airport on Friday to see them off.

My son is going to Pensacola as well. Div 026. Yes, this is very exciting but going to be a long road ahead but I'm confident they will all do well. I just booked my hotel, I'm starting to calm down a bit now that I can make travel plans.

I'm curious, are you going to rent a car or taxi it? And, what is your thoughts for Thanksgiving (besides being thankful we get our kids!) I am trying to decide if I should make reservations at a restaurant or what?
