My daughter’s PIR is January 5, Div 054. I just sent her phone cards yesterday. Hopefully she’ll get to use them soon. Glad to find this page. It’s been challenging to find helpful info as a mother. Anyone know at what point it will be safe to book airline tickets or hotel reservations?

Staci, I left info for you on your My Page.
Book your flight and make your reservations NOW. Then let your recruit know that you have done so and how proud you are of her and are looking forward to seeing her in her dress blues as a brand new US Navy Sailor. If you are concerned that she may be delayed for some reason, then don't let on to her and book your flight with Southwest so that you can change the flight with no flight change fee.

Thank you lemonelephant. I finely heard from her yesterday in a letter. I appreciate the advice. Sounded like she needs the extra boost of encouragement.

I also have a daughter in boot camp whose PIR is Jan.5. I got the form letter and her first letter this week, I am sure Thanksgiving slowed it down. I also got the first phone call from her today. She sounded good in her letter and on the phone. I am really excited to get to see her on Christmas, when we get to adopt her.
Does anyone have any recommendations for places to eat out and things to do with a SR on Christmas Day? What will be open? I have never been to the Chicago area before.
Thanks for any thoughts!
