awe how sweet! JR year was my favorite. i graduated early so senior year was short for me :) . when you get a break during school you can go out and be with him :) that will be nice, though u can't stay in the barracks. so you will have to stay in a hotel. if that is an option for you :) the NAS base in Pcola lets civilians go on there b/c of the museum and light house. other than that, you wont be able to get on without being accompanied by someone in the military or their spouse. My husbands divison won captians cup and was in recruite heaven all day so they were able to use the phone and get on FB before BS. cross ur fingers his division does good. then they do BS , then PIR. It gets so much better after that :) he is going to be super busy when he first gets to A school though. I didn't get to talk to my husband much. 5 minutes here and there but they are super busy getting situated. not to mention they are not use to the freedom so it takes a little bit for that to kick in.
