Hey everyone!    I read a post on ideas for care packages to send to our sailors..great ideas.  My sailor has requested paper towels(which I use to pad the box I send) Febreeze, Swiffers with extra dust pads...he must be a cleaning machine..funny, he wasn't at home     he uses the Tide sticks I added.   small frames for pictures he has collected, some of his comfortable civies clothes and some food items, like Easy Mac n'Cheese bowls, Wheat Thins,and Minimuffins   He said they had a day off for Veterans Day and that manyof the restaurants were offering free meals for the sailors/Vets.  Very nice...Take care everyone

Hello everyone,

       Just got back from picking up my daughter from graduation from A school she gets to be home for about 13 days than off to combat training.  It's so good to have her home even though she has a new kind of attitude and she expects the people back home to follow her strick schedule and do things they way she was taught in boot camp and A school.  Even though we have had our runs already it's good to have her home, reminds me of the good ole days.

Thanks marine navy mom for the info. Tickets are $600 to travel to Pensacola, but I'll pay it to see my 1st born.

Rabert - Your son can take his medal, they cannot stop them from the religous beliefs.  they dont have much room for personal items, but tell him to take it!  I sent  my son carepacks to A school monthly, he was in Groton, CT.

Comment by Raberta on November 7, 2011 at 3:54pm
Thanks for responding.  I think I'll just wait for the info to come.  He wasn't sure if he could take some of the things that came as gifts, one being a St. Christopher medal for safe travels. 
Comment by ISH-MOM on November 7, 2011 at 11:59am
Your Son will have to give you the address.  they are given "po boxes" to receive mail. He should also give you another regular address to send care packs to.  as UPS doesnt deliver to PO BOXES.  Or you can call the A School and get the info sometimes.
Comment by Raberta on November 7, 2011 at 11:50am

My son is E2 and AA is his field of study.  How do we receive the address for A School?  Will my sailor have to send it, or is there someone who can send to our email accounts?
