We live less than 45 miles from Great Lakes, and as of this morning there is a massive, counterclockwise spinning low in and around Lake Michigan.  It is cold and wet now, which usually clears up somewhat in the afternoon, which also doesn't help early 9 am graduation.  That is typical for this time of year around here. My son's PIR is in early November, which I expect to be dryer, but much colder, 30's is typical.

My son has a PIR of Oct 14, 2011. Any idea what the weather is like that time of year?

I should also add that one of the most accurate meterologists is Tom Skilling at www.chicagoweathercenter.com, bookmark the site and check it out close to your PIR.  "If your thinking of grilling, better ask Skilling."

I wanted to ask about that, if my younger son can get leave for his brother's PIR next month, if he could/should wear his uniform. I would love nothing more than to have the two of them side by side in their Blues! Don't know when they would be able to get together after this.

It is very fitting for your other son to come in uniform. It is also very common to see others in the crowd in uniform. You bet he should wear his blues! Besides that, he gets in to the PIR with no questions asked!

I have and unusual question that maybe some admin types out there might assist me with. I tried NavPersCen and Army Pers Center but not much help. NPC did provide the reg which helped a little. My situation is this. I did 4 yrs in the Navy then 19 in th Army where I retired. I was informed by NPC that I could wear my USN uniform with ribbons from BOTH services (Navy ones on top) with Army ones following. As for the rank, they and Army PersCen were not sure. They both "hinted" it wuld most likely be the rank I retired at in a Navy equivelant. Anyone ever has this kind of situation and what did you do? Thanks for any help.
