<p>Heather, Make your reservations NOW. There is no better encouragement than to know that your loved ones have so much faith in you to make it through that they have made plans to be there. No, your then Sailor will not have Leave until after "A" School so, no, he will not be able to fly with you. I will leave more info on your My Page on how to plan your weekend and more. There are some hotels in the GL area that have special rates for those booking for PIR. ask when you make…</p>

Thank you! This helps :-) Mine is 3 weeks in, we have had a letter but no call, possibly a missed one yesterday and we are heart broken. I haven't made reservations yet...just afraid something will come up and he won't have that date or worse doesn't stay.I was wondering do you know if some have leave before A school and come home? Do they fly with us if they do have leave? Our son goes to A school in Florida. Thanks for any info. I can keep digging and be patient. Any recommendations on a…

Thank you for writing about everything I have felt since my son left on October 19. Just when I think I am all cried out, I got a call from him, two days later, a letter. My family tells me "to stay strong"; it's not that I am weak, it's just that I am a mom. Not hearing from him for days is hard. I am so very PROUD of my son. I am so glad I found N4M. Best wishes to all recruit/sailor moms....our kids are AWESOME!!!

<p>First let me congratulate you on your SR, and for being the loving caring and supportive mom you are! I highly suggest the Navy Lodge for PIR stay and if they don't have openings Call daily (they always open up) YOU CAN DO THIS! At PIR you will be so happy but still feel a bit contained by the "warden" that is guarding your bleechers. No worries the warden gives way once they call Liberty and It takes little or NO time for you and your now Sailor to find each other, TRUST ME! Those PIR hugs…</p>

<p>30 minutes from Great Lakes thats fantastic! I'm pretty sure at this point you never get over it, the separation just gets easier to handle. I still miss my son daily (I text him to tell him so!) lol After basic the lines of communication have been wide open although i have to wait til he is done with class (Yes i have my alarm set to his "A" school end of day) :-) "A" school and the ability to talk to him has made me happier, but i will be most happiest when I get to throw my arms around…</p>
