My son is a Grad & Go after the PIR on July 17th, not sure if he will leave that day to go to his A school or if he will have the week-end. That is why my husband and I are driving up from FL in case he does have extra time before leaving. Is there…
My son is not Grad & Go, he will be going to school in Great Lakes. However, my nephew was a grad & go 4 years ago so my sister in law did not go to his PIR and then he ended up getting 3 days off before he had to report to FL for school. She was so…
I think most of the sailors will be given "liberty" for the rest of the day and some of the weekend!! As far as activities, Chicago has many places to tour. My childhood friend just returned from PIR a week ago and she recommended to take the train…

Hi Sharon,
So sorry to hear about your son's job switch. You never know he might end up liking it better in the long run. My son is an ABH Aviation Boatswainmate Handler - works with arresting gear. It is the same thing my husband did in the Navy.…

- We really aren't sure what James will be doing...we only had 1 phone call with him and it wasn't very long. His letters have not really included much information. We haven't had any mail from him this week. we figured we would find out when we rec'd the packet about graduation. we figured the packet that we got was general information.

- Carol thanks so much for the welcome. Brian is going to Pensacola for IT school. I was alittle unsure of joining the sight, but I have been reading as much as I can since Brian left. Your son is division 242 too? Where is he going? What will he be doing? I keep thinking this will help to talk to other Mom's. As my older daughters says, Mom's not handling this to well. Brian is the youngest of 3, and this is the first time he's been gone. It's been a big change in our house. Keep in touch, sometimes it takes me awhile to get back on the computer. Today I had to babysit grandbabies! I have no time when they are here.
Thanks again,
Sandy
