<p>My son just graduated Feb 1. May I recommend Sarge's meet and greet the evening before. I got there late because of my flight into Midway and rush hour traffic, but it was well worth the time and effort. He gives a tip on getting there which enables you to bypass some traffic. Also, if I had to do it over again I would sit in the lower section. Upper or lower, there's a chance you might not be able to pick out your graduate.</p>

<p>What a great ceremony it was. Got to meet Mike, our sons are headed to the same "A" school. There was a world of difference in my son. He has a plan and was sharing that with us, he has goals, that he has set for himself, and his GF. </p>
<p>We went to the airport, and his flight didn;t leave until 12:20, so we were at Miday for abiout 8 hours. Got up at 2:00 am to meet him there. I thnk it was harder seeing him walk through the gate and get on his plane, than it was when we took him to…</p>

I thnk it was harder seeing him walk through the gate and get on his plane, than it was when we took him to MEPS to leave for Boot Camp. At that point I knoew my son would never be under my roof again. I am so proud, but WOW, it is life altering for both of us.</p>

<p>One thing my wife and I talked about, I am certain that there were some who wasn't able to have family there for graduation for vasious reasons, it would have been nice to have treated one of those sailrs to a day off base and a meal other than a Navy meal. I think a good idea may be a "adopt a sailor", we have done this at our church during the holidays, as we live close to a training facility. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Well, I have to say, they did it right! If I remember correctly, an un-precedented 5 divisions got HOF honors this week! Lots of snow & bone chilling cold last 2 days. Sarge's meet & greet was great, I can tell he is a welcome asset to RTC families. By the way Paul, Sarge gave us the same "short cut" directions & it was perfect. The snow conditions made it slow but we were in the parking garage within 35 mins after leaving the hotel. Very proud of our new sailor/EM/Fireman, &…</p>

Very proud of our new sailor/EM/Fireman, & we were up extra early (3a.m. this morning) to see him & several shipmates off on an 8:35 flight from O'Hare. Heading back to SE Louisiana tomorrow.

<p>Actually, right now, if your coming from the east to get to Great Lakes, you will more than likely be passing by where I live in South Bend, Indiana. We are getting lake effect snow off of Lake Michigan right now and will get 4 to 6 more inches by morning. So by Thursday morning, (tomorrow) you will run into it then once you get west of us, it'll be pretty clear all the way into GL. Good luck!</p>
