tee-1sailor's mom, so glad you got to spend time with him in in Jax! My son likes Jax so far.

Well my son isn't coming home for Christmas as planned:( Money issues. Does anyone know if he still has to take the leave or if he can save it for later? I'm sure he knows but I'm curious and haven't talked to him in a while.
My son goes to JAX for his "indoc" class this weekend. 1st duty weekend as a Reservist. Can anyone tell me what this entails?
