I have heard about Meet & Greet, but I don't know a lot about it.  Do just some of the parents in each Company (or is it each Platoon) start putting something together?  I've read where they invite the DIs....do you contact them directly, or through your son's recruiting office?  I've also heard of some parents putting together a sort of collage of pictures of their sons when they were littler up to know and apparently the DIs think that's pretty cool.  Any ideas on what to do for the DIs?  And do we just pick a spot to meet and try to make arrangements with that facility ahead of time?  Any information is greatly appreciated.  Our recruits don't graduation until July 27, but I'm a planner and like to have all my ducks in a row way ahead of time so there's as little last minute stuff as possible.

Hi Group,

 

Take a look at this link for the June 1st graduation group to get an idea of what a meet & greet can be like: http://marinefamilynetwork.com/group/sde20120601/forum/topics/may-3...

The meet and great is when the parents get together and find a resturant so they can meet one another the night before family day. The DI's are invited and money is collected to pay for their meals. They usually meet at Coyote Cafe in Old Town. Someone in your battalion will need to set it up and keep everyone informed as well as contact the DI's.

If your at San Diego, I believe the meet and greet is when one of the senior officers come out and explain the rules to you.  Its in the court yard next to the museum. Don't worry you can't miss him...he's loud and has a microphone!  There's another meet and greet over at the Bayview Restaurant(which is a loooonnnggg walk, unless you take the shuttle) at the lunch buffet.  You can meet your son's DI's and ask how he did during training.  They are also good at taking pictures with your son.  Don't worry...you won't miss anything!!  The officer who does the rules will direct everyone on what is happening and when..he's around until the guys are excused for Liberty.  Enjoy your time there and most of all...Enjoy your time with your new Marine!!!

Very nice.  But they told me at Billeting my room is going to be $50 a night, that's about $100 I guess, if I check out Friday morning.  I'll just put everything in the trunk.  I already contacted a place that can deliver a motorized chair to me Wednesday night when I plan to check in so I can be there early for Family Day.  What is the Meet and Greet? Where? I don't want to miss a thing! Thanks, folks! Love, Amanda
