Whammy my son is not quite there but heading there tomorrow. So excited. Do you know how the handle liberty?

What do they do during the time between, do they continue to train? My son may be on a waiting pattern before A school. Just wondering what do they do, given a job? just exercise? New to all of this, I just don’t want him to get lazy ‘cause he’s just waiting around.

My sailor is just finishing up at Pensacola, moving on to training on helicopters in Norfolk, VA. He was at BC right at the beginning of COVID, and went to a different A-School before switching to Rescue Swimmer. Lots of slow transitions. We have not had a lot of information from him about the training in FL, though he's been there since October. The last six weeks seem to have been all classroom. Is anyone else at this stage of the process?

Hi ladies, I’m new here and wondering, does everyone pretty much pass the last week of tests at BC or is there still a high percentage that they do not pass? My son is supposed to graduate on May 6. 2021. Just biting my nails in anticipation.

WOW great to hear that your son is settling in and that he is finished with BC! The silence is tough but I am thankful to have other moms who have walked ahead. Has your son received liberty since he graduation from BC? Have you been able to see him since he left for BC? Did you ship him any personal items to Pensacola?

Seastheday2027 Hello! It's nice to meet another mom in the group :-) I'm guessing your son is currently in boot camp if he has a June PIR, correct? If so, how are you holding up? Not having contact for awhile was the toughest part, but it really does go by quickly...My son graduated from boot 4/1 and has been in Pensacola for just 2 weeks, but is settling in well. Wishing your SR the best through the rest of boot camp!
