Hello STGers. We have a new sailor among the group! My daughter passed battlestations at BC and will PIR Thursday at Great Lakes and depart for SanDiego on Friday for A-school. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!

My Sailor was home at Christmas before she started A School...she had a change of command. She is in C School now and will fly home to Cincinnati (where we lived before moving to NC) in Sept. for her grandpa's birthday, a cousin's wedding and the first birthday of her best friend's baby. Not sure if we can get up there to see her yet or not. : (

Have any of you had sailors who were able to come home on leave after A-school graduation?

I recommend Life Lock for credit card security ... my daughter graduated "A" school at the end of April and will not class up for "C" school until Nov. (yea! I live 2 hours from SD). She will travel out of state on leave in June. She is able to take a train to me when ever she does not have duty on a weekend.... they can go about 2 hours away -- (read: Los Angeles, disneyland, but not Las Vegas....) without much hassle.

FYI: My S and his friend (last name starts with U) had their credit card numbers stolen. They both were called at the same time by their banks (my S was USBank, (U) was from the Navy bank). Thinking that the restaurant they were at together was the one that had the person who stole the card numbers, thinking it was Oggi's!!!! Lucky that the bank saw/flagged "how could they charge at a restaurant in SD at the same time as a Home Depot in Montana?" So just letting you know that the theft of card numbers is on and to give your sailors a heads up...

Talked to our son tonight. We are waiting to see what happens. They will not grant leave until they class up, "C" school for S. But once they class up; class starts... So I don't get it because they don't grant leave during class!!?? Unless he gets this one class he really wants which will be a long hold until class starts. So at that point he could come home... But the confusion continues! LOL

phoebe - We were planning our trip to San Diego for June also until we found out our son will come home at the time we were going to go out there. He finishes A school around June 20th and gets to come home after that!

Well good luck with your sailor getting to come home while he's still in school. I think the earlier posts talked about that. I was born in CA. It's actually kind of chilly in June, compared to the humidity of the south.
They call it June gloom. It's like a cloudy overcast that isn't always smog. Refreshing if your hot out here.

We want to travel to SD again this June but it might have to wait until we see if S can come home between classes.

Me too, on both accounts ProudNavyMom. California seems far away right now.
