Anyone driving from Pensacola to Chicago area (or Southern Wisconsin) for Christmas break? Wondering if there could be a coordination of travel, share gas, company, etc...
Gena, My husband visited our son a week ago and stayed at the Navy Lodge....right on the beach...convenient to him and his schedule. He thought it was reasonably priced and quite nice...he highly recommends the Lodge.

Well ladies, our Rescue Swimmer boys are off to Pensacola! My son called mid morning and said they had to get up about 1:00am, to go to Midway airport about 3am and their flight out was not until about 2:PM (with a brief stop in Atlanta). The "rumor…
Thanks Kari and Chris for the info. So, if I understand you correctly, the boys will still earn their "gold wings", but they will just have to complete more months of their training first??
Could any of you please explain what you are talking about for changing the "wings policy" what is the old or current way verses the new way it is handled??
Hi ladies, my son just graduated PIR last Thursday and is flying to Pensacola tomorrow to begin his Aviation Rescue Swimming training. Looking for help, advice, and info on this new part of the journey. Ran across this group and it looked like a goo…

Texas Mom of 2 said… - Well, I've sent his cell phone twice and neither time was a good experience, LOL! So, I don't have any advice either.......apparently there's a building where their name is put on a blackboard when they have a package arrive so I know my son checks this blackboard when he's expecting something from me. But when I've sent something "overnight" (which I did with his cell), a couple of days were added on "top" of that. One of the other Sailors told my my son that mail to them was first re-routed to somewhere else.....yikes, who knows? I know it ultimately gets to him. :o)

- Hey, how's it going? What is the best way that you've found to mail our guys things? Both times I've sent stuff "overnight," once via mail and the other via UPS, it didn't get to J until the 3rd day. Pretty disappointing.
