Not sure where to ask this, but I was wondering how to address a letter to my sailor. Just like in boot camp we were given examples of how to address mail to our SR's. Can someone give me an example here, or where I can go to see an example? Thank you

Always on hold in Pcola...sailor will have to check their for when class starts some get weeks notice or day or hours...classes have to be formed with Marines, Air Force and Navy...just how it is there...Corry has less hold times then NAS...which base and what rating is your sailor?
-

Two month hold sounds about right...many are told 4 when before the DC mess, that turned into the two months..which is great...new routine and a busy sailor..:)

So my son finally started classes Wednesday for AM. He told us there may be a four month hold due to the Washington ridiculous situation but thankfully it wasn't so since he has been there since August 19th waiting to begin.

They have always been on hold...what class?

ALNavyMom-heard from the mom that had a sailor there last Thanksgiving, she said: Last year they got the day off and there was some type of dinner for the sailors. The rest of the weekend was just like normal. If your sailor has duty they will be working.

My son is also at NAS. His text last night said the commissary and mail room were open. Even though he was told he would most likely have a 4 month hold for classes (AT-I), he started classes yesterday (arrived P'cola on 9/15).
I wrote my senators and congress yesterday. Hoping they get this ridiculous situation resolved soon!

Good to hear the mail room is not closed at NAS... maybe there's wrong information on the other Pcola site..... They all have barrack support but get excused from it when they have volunteer work....that's probably why she was put back on barrack support??

Evening All...its such a shame whats going on, staying positve everything gets settled soon. My daughter has been at Pcola since 9/15, on hold for ABH. She was assigned to cleaning the museum but unfortunately that is now closed. She told me today she is assigned to barrack duty while she waits... Classing up will be longer because of the shutdown and she told me in a nice way that I should not expect her home for any of the 3 major holidays coming...i am so bummed but didnt show it, she is being strong about it so I have to as well...She did say that the mail room has not closed down, which is a good thing. Keep praying for good things!
