Yes! I just received a phone call. The several month hold just ended! My son's classes are starting Thursday through Monday! This means he may be home sometime in April or May : ) He has such excitement in his voice. "Now I can be home and back in college!" ~ kk

thanks Angie thats really helpful and a great site, a little scary but then again Im sure he has an idea of the risks he will be taking. He still has to get through A school so maybe his thoughts will change.

After working with, and for, colleges and universities, I have not experienced a student not getting refunds and records taken care of when orders were shown and the proper paperwork was completed. I know we hoped for summer enrollment, then fall semester, now it is looking like winter/speing semester. ~ It happens! ~ kk

D-Bsmom my son said it was the talk and possibly just a rumor around the base. I wonder if that talk was misinterpreted for other specialties other than IS that is. Because as Rene said her son has been home for a while after graduating from A school. I guess all we can do is hurry up and wait.
Judy I would be scared too, but I guess our sons knew what the obligation could bring. I give them all such credit for having the (what are those three words that describe our sailors) Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Tell him I thank him for his service and I will keep him in my thoughts.
Rene Brendan mentioned to me about signing up or on for IA (I think thats what he called it) it is relief for an active duty sailor could come home and a reserves go in for that sailor. I think I seen a post about that somewhere here but it was a ways back and I cant find it. Brendan was thinking of doing that.

my son did hear the same about the deployment. He said within six months after reporting to his home base. His PIR was 11/6, he is in week 6 (i think) of A school

ZacsPamom It looks like we have something in common? Our sailors are in A school together. I guess my question is more specific to how often an IS reservist is deployed. Just wondering if anyone havs a crystal ball. I hope everyone had a nice New Year. My sailor was home for New Years, didnt spend much time with his mother but it was nice to have him for the other days.

I had a great time with my son over the holidays - literally Christmas Eve to New Year's Day. So short but so happy to be with him. Since he is on hold for A School at Corry Station, I have booked a trip to see him in February. I can't wait for him to be back home and in college...but it is looking like a year from now. ~ kk

Happy and Healthy New Year everyone!
