Michele Z: My son Shane PIRed 9-3-09 from BC at GL. He is now in the engineering building #634 awaiting A school to start this tuesday. He is gsm. What's BECC...ATT? Is your son David at GL awaiting gsm A school as well? Are you in Dallas? I'm in Tulsa just up the road. Best to you & yours. hak/holly hope to keep in touch thru snipes group as well.
I know...ATT training confused me too! Not sure if David's got all his duck's in a row...LOL. I would love to go back up! I know Karol mentioned something about going up too - would be great if we all could go at the same time :) The weekend of PIR was so rushed and I missed a bunch of places too. I think it would just be me going also - kinda hard with the 4 y/o old to run around to all the places. I'll keep you posted :)
Take care! Michele Z
Hmm...wonder how I change that...LOL...how's Josh???? got a call from David - be mentioned BECC...ATT...then onto GSM A School - Kinda confused because I didn't think he had to take ATT school. What do I know...LOL
Hi Elizabeth,
I looked back at Michele's photo and found you. I have a feeling I will go back to GL at some point and hopefully hubby will be able to go too. Jeff may or may not be able to come home for the birth of his second baby (girl) on or before July 30, but then we wouldn't see him until he's out of A school in the end of Oct. Thats along time. I hope when he does get stationed it will be west coast. It would be easier on the family. We are all out here. I can't wait for him to get his cell phone. lol Then I hope to find out more about A school. My daughter in law and I sent his phone USPS priority because I was thinking they couldn't receive UPS or Fed Ex. Will have to ask him about that one?
Well, I gardened this morning and did yard work and its now hot so I'm going to cool off and take a shower.
Have a great weekend.
Take care, Karol
Hi Elizabeth!
I just realized that Josh & David are both under the "Surface Engineering" category :) David is going to be a GSM. I guess they both will be following the same path initially before they break off to their individual strands (HT, GSM). I've only heard from David via text, but he said they moved across the street? I'm hoping he means the main base :) Did Josh move to the main base? Still no address from him, but that's normal for David...lol...little info :) His cousin is on the Main Base and he held David's phone for him. I guess if I had to ship David's phone & laptop then I would have gotten a call AND address already!!! Keep in touch! I sure miss chatting in our group :( I've joined the Snipes and GL Q&A groups too. Take care, Michele Z
Hi Elizabeth,
Sorry I did not make Flannigans. I had my one year old grandson and daughter in law with me. My daughter in law is pregnant. I sat on the second from the bottom row on the bleachers in the 227 division, next to the RDC's and special families. My grandson and one other smaller baby were vocal during parts of PIR. You probably heard him. lol My poor daughter in law finally took him down to the bathroom. He was so tired and I swear he felt everyone's emotions. I am short, blond and blue eyed with freckles. lol You probably saw me at some point. I wish we could have worn signs that said Navy for Moms.
Jeff said he wanted a fan and he would call today so we'll probably hear from him. His sister is also very pregnant so we are on baby watch. My life is crazy, but I'm sure with seven you know all about that. I only had two and can't imagine seven. lol
It is so good to have know another HT Mom.
Take Care, Karol
Hi Elizabeth,
My name is Karol and I am Mom to Jeff DIV 227 HT
I saw your post to GL A school and saw your son is an HT? My son just grad. 06/19 and moved over to A school yesterday. I haven't heard anything
about change in rate, but if I get the chance I'll ask my son if he's heard that.
He did say the rooms were not air conditioned and he needed to clean. : ) He seemed happy about being done with BC and being at A school.
It is nice to meet you.
Take Care, Karol
As far as the Navy changing your son's rate; The following statements are base on my husband's 37 years in the Army. He of course doesn't know the terms of your son's contract. The navy may have other legal criteria: My husband believes that his rate should not be changed unless he agrees to it, or if he did something that would make him ineligible for the rate he signed up for. If he was unqualified for the rate at his at enlistment, the Navy should have known, and counseled your son in verbally at least prior to agreeing with your son to the wording of his contract. Sometimes our teenagers or younfd adults do NOT listen to everything the hear from the recruiters and sign documents without reading EVERY word before agreeing. You should check with the ombudsman at Great Lakes, or your son's recruiter to view his contract. If the Navy cannot meet the criteria so stated in the contract, your son may have resolvement coming from the Navy.
I missed the call! But I checked in with his girlfriend and heard that he received his orders for A school. He ships out on the 27th for MA school. I don't know where yet. Rhonda
