Soo my husband is in bootcamp right now till December..what we did was do his party on a friday, then he left the following monday, I felt like it was good timing for us.He will send you a navy letter with info about the graduation...and based on what I heard here it could take ten days give or take.

And for his party we only invited CLOSE friends and family, had pizza and poppers because that what he wanted one of his last meals at home to be.

Hello Lia, my husband is in boot camp right now as well till Dec. His PIR is 12/12. I'm glad to see someone currently in the same shoes as me.

Okay! Did Y'all Do Like Going Away Letter For Him?
Do you Have the info Already? if So is it a limit of how many family members can come?

A letter or going away card is a good idea...i wish we wrote a letter to each other to exchange right before he left...it will depend but with my husband it is four people, and only he can choose them...it'll be in that same packet about graduation. You'll learn his ship number and divsion whi h you will want. People who's moms had kids in my husbands division live all over the country might find something out before me like "phone calls"...plus it gives you the chance to talk and hear from people that are dealing with the same and their kids might tell them something cool that your husband might not of mentioned, liked "food is good" or"we marched in the snow".
