Hi Lorene! Sorry for the delayed response - I don't get on here much anymore. Yes, my sailor went from 800 div to DLI also. I won't lie -- I am more than a little relieved by the change! :) I am jealous that you live so close by. We are anxiously waiting for things to get more normal so we feel comfortable flying out for a visit. Stay well everyone!

Do you have your son's power of attorney (medical and/or financial)? We did that the first trip home, just in case. Another mom had suggested it for things like car registration and stuff. It's proven already valuable. But if he doesn't have time to get taxes filed, he won't have time to find someone to notarize a doc either :-( So difficult, I'm sorry.

Congrats Lorene! My son is at DLI. They are on lock down. No one on or off the base (except air force, not sure why they haven'e been locked down). They are restricted to the base. Even if he were not subject to lock down, he would be restricted from seeing you for a few weeks. He will need to "phase up". Once he arrives he will go through orientation and learn all about phasing up! Good news is you can communicate with him freely! Once the lock down is lifted and he phases up, you can go and meet for dinner. Again, Congrats on your sailor and hope you get to see him SOON!

Good evening! My sailor will be arriving Monterey next week. Anyone know how conditions are there? Restricted to base? He believes classes will begin soon as well. Since we live within 2 hours, so we'd like to know if we could meet for dinner or whatever. Hope everyone is hanging in during this super weird time.

Earin, not sure if you got a response about activities to do while on your visit. I suggest you explore the base -visit the cafeteria and share a meal and go see the pieces of the Berlin Wall! There are several plaques that have interesting stories your sailor will learn. In Monterey, Alvarado Street is fun to walk and explore. There is a nice aquarium. We walked from aquarium to Alvardo St. Go look at the seals sunning on the rocks! Lots to do! ENJOY IT!!!

We are planning a visit out there in 2 weeks and would love any suggestions on things to do/see. Know he won’t be able to go off base yet so know it will be limited in what he/we can do.

Our Sailor has arrived at DLI! Super excited for this next phase in his journey!

Hi All - I am guessing the process is very different if you are transferring from another Navy program to DLI and are married. Still seems like a lot of "hurry up & wait", though. Anyone with any experience on family housing around DLI and the process surrounding that?
