Hello Paul,

Thanks, Paul!

Chuck

Thank you!  Very glad to have found this site.  It has been very helpful to us, and our daughter.  We are excited, and nervous, but mostly very proud that she has chosen to serve her country.  We do have a question that we are hoping someone might have some insight on.  She is scheduled to leave on October first which would put her graduation the week of Thanksgiving.  We obviously want to attend graduation, but there is some uncertainty on the exact date of the graduation given the holiday week.  This is making it very difficult to book flights, hotels, etc.  The question is, is there a regular routine that week?  Will they modify the graduation date due to the holiday?  If anyone could shed some light on that it could be very helpful.  Her recruiter has said she won't find out until a few weeks in and if that is the case, flights are going to be sparse by then, and very expensive. 

Thank you Paul.

Thank you very much for the welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. My son is a Chief and will join the Carl Vinson at some point soon. I was l0oking for info on the ship and found this site. I am not all that computer savvy but would like to feel a part of some navy community, especially when the temps strat dropping here in Upper Michigan.....

Thanks for the warm welcome and helpful tips. I am proud of my son, and can't wait to brag on him :-)

Thanks for the kind welcome Paul!
Yup, I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of bragging here.
I'm an ex-Navy (RM) as well but I know a lot has changed since that time.
Thanks again and wishing you and yours well!

Paul, Tim & Jim,

Thank you for the info., warm welcomes and all that you do! It can't be easy staying up with all the new family members & postings. We got the call yesterday and our baby boy is no longer a baby boy, he's a US Navy sailor now. Can't wait to meet some of the other families @ Sarg's tonight and PIR tomorrow. I've received orders from my wife and daughter-in-law that we are to be in line at 05:30 for premium seating. Thanks again and congrats to all who got that call!  Rick Dunn

thanks for all the info and for all you do!!!!!

Thank you for the welcome!
