Here is what I was told by my grandson who leaves on Jan 5th. On the 4th the Navy recruiter takes him to a hotel to spend the night.Then the next morning of the 5th he gets swarn in again. He is then released to his family until his flight out to Gr…
OK, thank you for the info.
where is Sasabo?
thank you very much for the advice...i will stay here too. I get a little teary eyed if i think too much about his going away. I know it is the best thing for him but since we helped raise him I feel very close. I guess it's the empty nest thing....…
hat happens when our kids leave in Jan. Do we stay here with this group or go to another. Best wishes to all our kids.....
We are from Idaho. My grandson is also ready to go.
My grandson is going into the damage control and he stays there in great lakes for school. It seems that all ive read that they get the weekend with family before heading out to school.
My grandson leaves for BC on 1/5 and i understand that there is a PIR every friday so i guess my Josh will graduate on 2/26 also? Or would he have to wait until 3/5? Oh, I also hear that the 1st week they are there that it doesn't count as they are…
Does anyone know how far in advance one can reserve plane tickets to the PIR.? My grandson, Josh, leaves on Jan 5th. We live in Idaho and I know the plane tickets don't get cheaper the closer it gets.
That's wonderful, congratulations, that is where we would like our grandson, Josh, to go so we could be closer to him. Brag all you want it's an accomplishment.
Thank you very much, what a blessing this site is. Have a great day
what is BECC? and what is DC strand? So many letters and I'm just trying to get to understand them. Congratulations on your sons graduation.

- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- I really don't have any experience except that our grand-daughter married a Navy boy and they now live in Hawaii until Jan 2010 then they will move to Seattle area. He, encouraged our grandson to look into the Navy. Our Grandson, Josh, went in under the delayed entry program so he could finish high school.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

He took nothing but his phone, which turned out to be good. He called twice before they checked him onto base. And he went with a buzz cut too, haha. Be sure to tell your family to read the whole letter packet they send out after boot camp. They tell you to get refundable plane tickets for a good reason. There are sometimes delays in graduation. And don't mail anything but a regular letter. Care packages have to wait until A school and beyond. Being there for PIR was one of the greatest moments of my life. That's what this picture is of us together. He said it was the highlight of his winter. And Chicago in Jan was no picnic. Talk to you again soon.

- Hi Barbarajean,
My son is a DCFN, out on deployment. Haven't seen him since Jan. I feel lucky to get emails a couple times a week. I hope you are finding support through this site. It's tough to have loved ones far away, whether they are military or not. Being military, I think we probably worry about their safety a bit more. Hopefully you are getting to hear some news about your grandson on a regular basis! Take care and drop me a note anytime.
