My son is going to San Antonio, TX. I know San Antonio is school for Hospital Corpsman. They also have some other specialties.
Congrats to your SR...Mine is staying in GL for "A" school, so we have a little more time with him, but I am so happy you all are getting news!
Yes, my son is going for Medic.. how about yours?
My son is going to be a Medic. They should be at the airport together waiting for a flight to San Antonio.
That is awsome.. Maybe we will meet!
Do you know what airport he is flying out of? They all leave Great Lakes between 2 am and 3 am. They wait at the airport until their flight leaves. You can meet them at the airport and spend time with them before their flight. If he is flying out of Midway, the earliest flight is 6 am which is when airport security opens.
No I don't know what Airport he is flying out of yet. Hopefully he will let me know. I sent him a book of stamps and a calling card yesterday. He also requested his bible.. so I will be sending that today. I hope you are all getting letters.
My son did not give me any information about the date. What information do you have?
You tease! LOL...I PM'd you on FB :~)
Ok, I am new to this and don't know what the battle stations.. is. Can you explain please?
Thanks
