Also, there are two gates and they are not sure which they will march out of but apparently there will be a lot of cabs waiting at the gate so just find the one with all the cabs.

I would say whatever is comfortable for you. It will be a memorable event and you may want pictures. Your recruit is going to be in his/her dress blues. I think "Church clothes" (whatever that means to you) would do, probably a tie isn't necessary.

Hope that answers your questions. She said she might be able to get on the computer this week and was going to read the blog.

I spoke with Delta and found out a couple things. They have "military fees" which can be a little lower than the internet rate. Also, if he has his travel orders, they will waive the $15 fee per bag. They can check up to 10 bags. This is only if they are reporting to a duty station and not on leave. Since he is reporting to Miami, his t-shirts <br />and shorts shouldnt take up too much space so i think he is safe!LOL<br /> One week from tomorrow!!! Safe travels to all!katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800848591880985452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485219566082721240.post-26316303382596948072009-11-16T20:30:20.384-05:002009-11-16T20:30:20.384-05:00Any one have a prior military service member in th...Any one have a prior military service member in the company? Our son was in the Navy from 02 - 06. Is anyone else from Colorado making the trip for Graduation? We're from Fort Collins area & are flying in on Sunday to do sightseeing in Philadelphia since our daughter is on break from CSU whole week. Does anyone know how formal we are to dress for graduation, is a tie required for Dad? Looking forward to next Tuesday.

Said they too had all gone to the exchange and loaded up on junk food, was almost sad to see it coming to an end. Said they may wait to take his teeth out and that they told them they sometimes do it right up to grad day, and keep them an extra day to make sure they are good to go...good thing we have reservations for Wednesday night too.

Says it's tough but great (and even occasionally fun). Says CC Wingate is awesome. Also the other CC's (I was so excited to hear his voice I forget some of the details. They toured a cutter today and he is excited to get to "His ship". Had his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and is doing fine. Not sick, no fever just needs some soft food for a couple of days. Anyones son/spouse named Paul? My son, Joey, says they have become great friends and he is also stationed in Maine. He asked me to book his flight from home to Maine. Report date is Nov 30.

It seems like a lot of us have had questions re: transportation from leave to duty station. The CG travel people will book his flight from Atlanta to Miami on Delta with Andrew picking up the cost of the flight. As far as housing goes; he will have to live on the cutter for 6 months so that is one less thing we need to concern ourselves with at the moment. Before he left; he had decided to go the aviation route but changed his mind since being there. His report date is December 3rd so that is a huge bonus for us; we get an extra few days having him home. YAY!! He was going to a place and pig out on fries and burgers tonite. It was a fantastic phone call and the highlight of our week. Hope you all have had (or will receive) calls from your recruits. 10 days till Cape May.

So, I searched the web and found a good, informative site. The main link to go to is "USCG ISC" (Integrated Support Command") Then, they have the individual duty station links. There is a local phone number to call, if you don't find your information on the website. I called the housing office to ask my questions and they were very nice and informative. In fact, he asked my son's name and when I told him, he laughed and said they had just been talking about him because he owes them some paperwork. It was comforting to know they were expecting him. Anyway, hope this helps some of you.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975911364974726546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485219566082721240.post-44188926560196564212009-11-13T13:07:08.110-05:002009-11-13T13:07:08.110-05:00Sounds like we are all worried about travel arrang...Sounds like we are all worried about travel arrangements.
