Yes, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we took our son back to the airport (O'Hare) after his leave (after A school graduation) and they asked us if we would like to go to the gate with him! We didn't know they allowed that for military personnel (he was in uniform).

Michelle, In addition to giving him his cell phone, you can get a special security pass and go to the gate with him. You get to spend more time with him.

My son got to SC on the 4th and doesn't start school until the 16th. He is getting acquainted with the campus, getting to know people and hanging out with people from his PIR 10/30 shipmates he calls them. So far he really likes it there and looks forward to starting school. We just shipped him all of his electronics per his request. Computers/printers are far and few between I guess.

Hi Ladies, I am new here, my son will PIR this Friday, 11/13/09. Then he will be heading to S. Carolina on Saturday. My question is.... Can I give him his cell phone at the airport when he is leaving GL or will he NOT be allowed to have it when he gets to A School? PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks,

Michelle

My son is in class 0937...an EM...he PASSED as well! Congrats to all of those who passed comps today!

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend graduation, I am hoping that someone else who is going to be down there would have some photos to share as well!

hi, my son said he and a buddy have been invited to GA with a friend from goose creek for Thanksgiving, if they dont go to that he said a bunch were talking about renting a room or two at an extended stay hotel and cooking a meal & just hanging out.
when he plans to leave for Chrsitmas he's hoping to get a group to shar the taxi ride to the airport.
he went to the county fair this last weekend with a bunch, said it was good time.

Lori (OH)....is your son in class 0942? My son took his A School Comps today for MM. He did great and he is looking forward to graduation this Friday. Will you (or any other moms) be attending graduation? I can't make it and I am "hoping" that someone will be nice enough to get a pic of my son with some of the other sailors afterwards.

Welcome MySharonna! As I remember reading here last year the chaplain had something going on for our Sailors. Also there are some local moms who will invite Sailors to their homes. My Sailor PIR'd the day before Thanksgiving last year and was not a grad'n go so we were in GLs over Thanksgiving and this year we are just lucky that his brother lives in NC and will host us for Thanksgiving. Don't worry! The Navy Moms I have read about do their absolute best to include those with family far away as far as I can tell.
