<p>It's great that you were able to hear from your son. I'm hoping to hear from my son at some point. I get anxious not being in communication with him. </p>
<p>My son is a Gunner's Mate (working with weapons), so likely not in the same area as your son. His name is Kalani, however I think he told me that his shipmates nicknamed him "Nacho" - don't know why. :) </p>

<p>So I did a little research and I was able to answer my own question. :) </p>
<p>In case anyone else is interested in this information, I've attached an information sheet provided by the US Department of Labor regarding FMLA leave for family members of military personnel. </p>

<p>A homecoming ceremony (among other reasons) is considered a qualifying exigency under this FMLA rule, so if a family member qualifies for FMLA and needs to attend a homecoming ceremony, it's a job-protected leave.</p>
<p>Hope this can help some people. It definitely makes me feel better about taking time off so I can attend my son's homecoming (whenever that may be).</p>
