Well, jake is all set.
yeah, he'll go in the hole a bit as they haven't accrued enough time as of christmas. but he's okay with that, looking forward to coming home.

I'm sure purple pig can explain it better than i can.

Kelly,

He stayed at Great Lakes for Engineering school and a fire school? I think he will be finshed in January? Ship out in Feb??? The way I was explained Christmas was that anyone who wanted to stay could but had to move all their stuff to just a couple ships... The rest of it would be empty????? Otherwise, those that leave for Holiday have to take leave..If they don't have enough time built up they can go in the negative a bit? Not sure if this helps? Maybe I will ask the purple pig?

I'm sure that each school base has it's own rules and "stand down" time. Hopefully they will all get their final info on the holiday's soon!

For what is worth and not sure if it will hold true this year, when Doug was in A/C school at Corry they were allowed to take either the week of Xmas or the week of New Years but not both. The dates were something like 12/19 - 01/05. The only get part of the holidays off so there are bodies for duty needs.

My son's ship was one of the last at GL to get the "final" confirmation. Maybe he can ask, sometimes i don't think they realize the flights fill up fast!!

I WISH my son would find out something about Christmas leave. He is still on hold in P'cola for A School. I think his focus right now is on Thanksgiving as his gf is flying out there, but....I keep telling him not to wait too long and blow his chances of coming home. UUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!

Hi A school Moms,
I'll say something, too! I am liking A school, it is much better than BC! And she gets Christms leave. I am counting down the days until she lands in Californa.
