Hey Tonya!
There is a post in the discussion forum called "your sailor's schedule upon arriving in goose creek" and any information you need to know should be listed in that. minus the visitor one, he can't host anyone while he lives in the BEQs but you can technically visit him anytime (as in..be in goose creek) though as far as leaving base to see you, that would be on paper attached to the forum discussion. also, it's going to be rough for him to get any time to see you so it most likely will be a little awhile before you plan a trip to goose creek!

I just a returned home from Goose Creek. The weather yesterday was absolutely beautiful. My son did say it started raining after we left. I am very proud mom he graduated with distinction :). I got to meet a lot of boys from his class and had the pleasure of taking 3 of them with me various places. He told me I spoiled him way to much on my visit. Isn't that what is moms are for??? It doesn't get any easier saying see ya later. I'm still fighting those tears.
I got to see my girl while there too!! She is good friends with my son from our home state. This was the first time I have seen her since she left for bootcamp in early November. Where does the time go?? It seems like yesterday he was taking his first steps.
