Thanks, Buzz.  My wife and I are so anxious to hear his voice and confirm that he is finally a United States Sailor!!

Savor the moment, get there early to get good seats. If driving on base, don't forget your pass

Hi Andrew! My son also graduates this Friday & we received the I'm a Sailor call last Friday. My son is Ship 14 Div 260. Do you know what day he has Battlststions?

I thought Battlestations happened the week of graduation.  He is in Division 263.  What I have heard is no news is good news.  That's great but we are driving from NC for the graduation and I would love to have the assurance that he is going to graduate.

Philippians 4:6-7. Praying for you. Remember how it was 7 weeks ago. You are almost there. As someone else suggested, savor it

Does anyone know if the parking is needed for the whole weekend or just for graduation day?
