Hi Alboo, sorry I didn’t get back to you here, our daughters were talking :). I made a last minute decision to go to graduation and am so glad I did! We had a great time and it was so nice to see my daughter!
Hope your daughter is doing well (I heard she is!)

Hi Dadofson and KristineAFN, congratulations to your sons on their contracts! That is so exciting! My daughter graduated RSS a few weeks ago and is now in A-school. I am so proud of her I can hardly stand it! I got to spend a little time with her graduating class, your sons are joining an elite group of young people!
She does not have a vehicle, but several of her classmates do. They do use them, and she says they don’t have to pay for parking.
Hope this helps!

Hey Dadofson - my son also leaves on Monday with an AIRR contract and feels the same way about his vehicle, so hoping someone will be able to give us some direction. Thanks for asking.

Proud parents of our son who leaves for boot camp Monday with a AIRR contract.
Our son’s plan is to keep his full size pick up truck and down the road believes he can store it at Pensacola when he goes AIRR training. Our son is focused on his training so I am taking care of what happens with his truck. The truck is in Michigan and I am in Arizona so I need to have it put in storage. Our son is very attached to this truck other wise I would just sell it for him.
Question, Should he even have or will he even need his truck in Pensacola? Being training/try outs will he have access in Pensacola for free parking on base? As it should be this is not a big focus of his.

Colleen - my daughter is in her 1st week of RSS so I don't think she will be graduating with your daughter but maybe I can ask her if she can get pics for you?? Congrats on your daughters success!! That is awesome :)

Hi, any other Moms of AIRRs out there? My daughter is now in RSS and graduation is coming up - I'm hoping someone might be able to go to graduation and take some pictures?!?

Hi @ttinaz, my daughter waited at least two months between getting her contract and going to the RTC. She was in the DEP pool for over a year though. Her first contract was for a different job that then was reclassified, then she took a second job, then was contracted for AIRR. She graduated from RTC in one week!! Good luck to your son!

Hi everybody...I have a question. My son is planning on going AIRR and I was wondering how long it took from the time they entered DEP until they went to RTC. I heard it can take a while for AIRR slots to open up.

Hi moms! This is my first time here, what a great group! My daughter is only a few weeks in with her PIR in July. Her last letter says she has hurt her shoulder and is on light duty. It sounds like her shoulder function is pretty severely limited. She's really disappointed! How will they handle this injury as far as her contract goes? Is she at risk after all the hard work she put in to get there? Can any of you share similar experiences?
Thanks in advance for any information!

Hi SusanL, My son just left Pensacola few weeks ago. He purchased his own wifi and we had no issues with face timing,calls. Don't send care packages yet. They can't have anything in their rooms as far as food and drinks, if I remember correctly till after RSS. My son was sick with a virus in bed and they weren't to have anything which is ridiculous but water. They do get their mail so I would just sent to his address there never had a issue. He's going to love it there, it's a beautiful base and once he phases up he'll love the beaches/area. Good luck to your son in RSS.
