Thanks GAEngTeacher--just responded to the request about div 110 on this site originally because was bc ship mate reaching out.  I read the other posts from the other groups, very informative, but was advised to limit my posts & joins, so just read a lot!  At least my new Sailor can call when available now and we can visit, too. 

PS--gocougs--hope things going better now and he can classup soon, but he may want to do community service too to help with rating.  Also, maybe you can visit him in Pcola

My Sailor just goes to the NEX, you need to wait until they get next level of liberty after a week or two then you can send warm weather clothes, etc.  and he should be able to give you heads up what else he wants.  And congrats to you and your Sailor!

Good morning! My son arrived at A school on Saturday.  I want to get a care package started but don't know what kinds of things they have in their "dorms" (somebody can fill me in on the correct military term!) what they are allowed to have and what they "need".  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

gocougs--sorry you were not able to march after so much work, you definitely should have--quite a site!  Glad everything finally worked out.  Best wishes for your future and good luck in Pcola!

Hello Abouttime!

Our boy says he's going through Indoc for a few weeks - and is already getting a little bored!  haha.  We had a 'hiccup' with his PIR last week... he called us last Monday, holding back tears, saying he didn't pass his PFA and that we shouldn't bother coming - that he would have  1 more chance to pass on Wednesday.... our tickets were nonrefundable so we planned on making the trip any way, but we were heartbroken that we may not be able to see him.  As we landed in Minneapolis we received a call from him saying he passed, that he would be graduating, but not able to march with his division because he'd be doing battlestations all night.... again, we were disappointed, but at least we were going to see him!  After PIR was complete, we found him and then got the full story..... he actually passed his PFA and had paperwork in motion to revise his situps count - his trainer wrote down 41 instead of 71 situps, which is the reason he didn't pass!  His RDC tried to get him rejoined to his division, but nothing happens quickly, and it hadn't circulated by the time he retested on Wednesday..... I felt horrible for him - and he was exhausted on Friday.  Because of that, his transfer paperwork took 3 hours to process and we were left waiting at the NEX for him.  Our time together was all too brief!  Thankful, though to have spent time with him.  We joined him at the big airport ta 5:45 the next morning, then spent a few hours with him before his flight left at 9:30.  He's thankful to have his phone now, so we can stay in contact.  Whew!!!

gocougs--congrats to your family and your Sailor!!  3/4 PIR was quite an educational experience for us!  Our Sailor was in 110 also and flew to Pensacola Saturday night, just from a different airport then us.  We had to zip down to the "other" airport to see him and make it back to our airport to turn in rental car and not miss our flight, which was much earlier than his.  Pensacola has several A school locations, each with different specialties and schedules.  Today our Sailor just did paperwork, shopping for essentials, and checked out the base.  Now I hope he finally gets some sleep!

Greetings!  My son arrived yesterday afternoon to Pensacola!  Now that he has his phone he can't seem to stop calling - WE LOVE IT! It sounds like he has several weeks before his school starts; so he's been given some jobs/duties to fill his time - Are there any parents on here from Div 110?  Would love to chat!

When sailors are at A school do they have weekends off?
