<p>I have a question. Can a sailor take "Leave" during A School? I have read "No" and "Yes". Just wanting some clarification on this. A few weeks ago my daughter told me that she has a surprise for me. I asked her if the surprise was coming in the mail. She said "No. Don't worry Mom, you will know in a few weeks." Hoping that I will have "Boots in the House" over Labor Day weekend. Is this possible? Is there a chance I will have "Boots in the House"?</p>

<p>Just got back from visiting my daughter in Pensacola. We really were hoping to stay on base at one of the hotels but that didn't work out. I searched the internet for a nice yet affordable hotel room that came with a kitchen and a sitting area. We were able to have my daughter for the weekend as well as three of her friends so that's why we needed the extra room. </p>

<p>Just got back from visiting my daughter in Pensacola. We really were hoping to stay on base at one of the hotels but that didn't work out. I searched the internet for a nice yet affordable hotel room that came with a kitchen and a sitting area. We were able to have my daughter for the weekend as well as three of her friends so that's why we needed the extra room. </p>
<p>After days/hours of searching I found a place and highly recommend it to anyone going to see their kids/spouse in Pensacola. It's called Cottages on the Green. The prices are GREAT. I actually reserved my room on Hotwire but that is only for the room and not the room and living quarters so I would call them first. It's about 15 minutes from base (Back Gate) and is centrally located to stores, restaurants, fish markets, beaches, boat rentals (Lil John's boat rentals). We got a room (two queens) and for $25 more a night we got the living room, dining room, kitchen and another 1/2 bath. Ask for the Military discount. Talk to Kristie. She is wonderful and will try to accommodate any needs you may have. She gave us a cot and an air mattress along with linens for my daughters friends. She let us use a cooler for the boat rental and she even brought us her dvd player from home to watch the PIR dvd. She is awesome.</p>
<p>We had a shrimp/crab boil for all of us at the condo (table seats 8 people) which was awesome. Got the seafood from Perdido Seafood Market ( great prices) but we had to buy the pot, so I left it there for the next person to use. Just ask her for it.</p>
<p>I loved seeing my daughter and she was so grateful that we came to see her. She has been at A School for 2 months and just started classes. School for her is 16 weeks so we thought it would be good for her for us to come for a visit. Turns out it was!!! We will see her in Nov. sometime when she is done with school.</p>

I don't know what they can have or need or want. Do they have a microwave? I can give them some microwave popcorn, or other stuff like that. What are other things they would like? Also anyone who has adopted Sailors before-what time do you pick them up and drop them off? I don't care what time or how long they stay if they want to watch football and hang out with our family, but I don't want them to be bored and thinking they are there forever, so what are some of the things you do with the Sailors?</p> CS in Virginiatag:navyformoms.ning.com,2014-09-16:1971797:Topic:87512032014-09-16T11:30:01.399ZBernapethttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Bernapet

<p>Hi, just wondering if anyone knows anything about the Fort Leanorwood Army Base? This is where my son will be going for his A schooling. He will be studying for EA Engineering Aide (Civil) Wondering why they are sending him to an Army base for school and what is it like there? my son heard it isn't a nice place, but I am hoping that's not true. Any one have any information or facts on this base, please let me know. I just am interested to know more if possible, less stress when you have more…</p>

I am desperate for some advice. My son met a girl 2 days before he left for bootcamp. He is now in his first week of A school in Pensacola. I found out through Facebook, that this girl (who we knew nothing about) is only 18 years old and has a one year old child. My son is 22. She has been posting photos of herself, her baby and my son saying they are a family. For some bizarre reason, my son seems to like the attention, perhaps because he was feeling isolated and lonely in BC. I am so afraid…

For some bizarre reason, my son seems to like the attention, perhaps because he was feeling isolated and lonely in BC. I am so afraid that this girl is going to try to get pregnant by my son so she and her child will be taken care of with military benefits......or worse yet, ruin his Navy career. Has anyone else experienced these kinds of girls? I have tried to talk to my son about her, but our ability is limited to actually speak. I am so depressed. I was so incredibly proud of him when we went out for his bootcamp graduation, but now I am fearful that he is falling prey to a needy girl with baggage and I have no idea how to handle it.<br />
