Lori-thanks for responding to my question about the back up for aircrew..wow..5 months!! Part of the reason I was asking is because chris just graduated 1/23..he didn't have his orders yet and had no idea when he'd be getting down there. He is really worried that with the back up they will put him on hold up in GL instead letting him be on hold in P-cola. How long was Philip in GL after PIR before they went ahead and sent him to P-cola? I can't believe they have allowed it to get that backed up. Chris doesn't mind being on hold so much as not being in P-cola. While he is still in GL he doesn't get the priveleges afforded to the graduates even on hold. What on earth do they do for 5 months while they are waiting? Is there a way for them to stay in shape so they are ready for Aircrew school? Do they give them some kind of work or something so that they aren't bored to death? LOL any help would really be appreciated. Unfortunately since he is still in GL I'm in the dark as much as I was during BC as he still isn't able to make calls and such. UGGH!
You bet . . . just hope your little guy feels better:)! Weather report says mostly sunny, 0% rain and high of 72 . . . gotta love Tucson in the 'winter' :)!
how soon did your son leave after graduation ?- My son graduates on Feb. 13 and his "A" school is in California and I have this fear of only getting to see him for a short time - did you drive to base or ride a shuttle - which would you advise? What time do you advise we get there on that morning!!! I sure appreciate your answers - I can't wait till Feb!! Thanks !Lelia
Congratulations . . . WOW, what a BIG little boy:)! Just remember that you have the 'hormonal' excuse too . . . I cried at the drop of a hat for weeks after my kids were born:)!
You'll do fine and so will he - HUGS:)!

oh...I see that Joyce gave a great idea down below :) My kid stuffed a short note in his pants pocket that came home, he also did a couple of delayed text messages to my phone. It was precious.
Hi there . . . glad you might make it to the potluck in January:)!
I've been thinking of you . . . I'm assuming your 'youngest' has arrived? Hope all is well:)!
See if your son would be willing to write you a letter while on the plane to Great Lakes - pre-addressed stamped envelope that he can drop in the mail at the airport? Then you wouldn't have to wait that lllloooooooonnnnnnng couple of weeks to hear from him . . .
Do your best to put on a 'happy' face for him to remember and feel free to come and cry on the shoulders of NFM's . . . GIANT HUGS to you:)!
My son leaves to boot camp tomorrow and I am really sad. How do you get through the crying and let them know how proud you are of them? It is my first time away from my son and with the holidays coming I would like to hear how you get through the tears. Thanks for listening!
