Good morning everyone. Thank you all for the support shared, helpful info, great questions and your encouragement. Most days I read the comments and do not post. Our son has been fortunate enough to have called home several times thud far; the 1st call of arrival and 4 calls afterward. We are thankful to hear his voice and with each call he sounds better and adjusting more. It's a joyful feeling to listen to all he has to say about the process and that he is doing well. We have booked our flight for PIR. Could anyone recommend hotels? I would like to stay at one near RTC to help arrive on time for PIR, then another near the O'Hare airport to arrive there as quickly as possible when our son flies out for school. Also, suggestions for preferred rental car companies would be greatly appreciated. Being from California we are expecting weather conditions which are not familiar and hoping for a smooth trip. Thank you in advance for your help - have a blessed day.
PirateLife: Some like to book a day early just in case of bad weather. They don't want to chance missing PIR.
Good Morning!
lilhitl: It is best if you ask your SR what you should bring up there. You can bring an extra suitcase with these things in there that she can keep up at A School in GL. Someone posted recently that their GL A School student was able to keep the entire suitcase of items and the suitcase too.
Those flying out should not plan on sailors taking much with them to A School because they won't have the space in their Navy luggage. They can bring items for their sailors to pick from that will fit into this luggage and ship the rest. They can't wear civilian clothes until they phase up 2-3 weeks later.
Welcome Kiwi Miwi!
Awww, what's your kitten's name?? You have a cute pic of you and your SR hubby as your icon, but can you review the OPSEC section up above the Weather Widget? It's better to change it for Boot Camp to not have your SR. Sometimes the Recruit Training Commanders (RDCs) come onto the PIR groups looking for info on the SRs, so the less of a connection between an SR and a family member, the better~~ Maybe you can use a pic of your Siamese kitten?? Thanks~~
