I guess the CO changed some of the leave request chits for around the holidays. We had to change our sons airline reservation date for the trip home in December. Had to pay an additional 200.00 for the change. Still worth it to have him home for the christmas holidays. Seems a group of them had a good Thanksgiving cooking out on the grill. He sent us a picture from his cell phone. The grill was loaded with steaks and crab legs.....Yum

Happy Thanksgiving all. My son just got off work and called, he was going to go eat. Hope he can find some turkey.
He had his leave approved about a month ago then they switched him to a new division. He has re-requested the leave for the same dates 18th-30th, we are still waiting for it to be approved. Seems this division takes its time.

Woooo Hoooo got our phone call just before we left for church tonight!!!! So wonderful to hear his voice!! He was headed to his first classes home, they were expecting his parents from the states... He invited my son to come and bake the apple pies!! Yes my son learned how to cook up a storm from his mom here... and grill like a mad man from his dad!! :-) Other good news from our home... my oldest girl just passed her State Boards and is now a licensed cosmetologist!! So much to be thankful for!!!

Hi Barb,
You can find info on your sons job on navy.mil or look it up on Wikipedia.
As far as these acronyms...lol... just ask a lot of questions!! I've been at this over 3 yrs..lol.. I still can't keep them all straight!
At first i would write them down with ??? marks and email my son and tell him to fill in the blanks for his poor old mom!! He thought that was a hoot!! I still forget a bunch of them and just interrupt him when he goes into abbreviation mode ! I am waiting paitiently for his phone call right now I saw on the webiste that his ship is in port now..So I can hardly wait for a call. Hope everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

OK, I guess my son is an ATO so any info on that would be great.

Hey Barb I am new to this group also. My son is ATI and is in PCola--he got there on 9/30. I am not to sure what AWOT is either but congrats to your sailor--smart kid!!!! I believe my son is taking AWOT classes now also---I wonder if he finished and if he knows your son!!!! That would be cool if they know each other---please go to my email and we can exchange names and I will ask mine if he knows yours!!!! sharoncede@yahoo.com

Wow, this is awesome to finally find this group. My son is an AT, not sure if he is ATO or ATI, should he know that already. he has been at Pensacola since November 4th. he just texted me and said he finished his AWOT the top of his class. so what is AWOT? all these acronyms are mind boggleing.
