Hello all! This is my first time here! My son is Div 195, he is a Seabee, hope I spelled that right! Any other Seabee moms? I look forward to reading all your comments. I received the call, the box and the form letter so far! Hope to get an actual letter soon!

jovilla:  Write down that the 17th was 1-1 for your division (which would be 189/190, possibly the same for 191/192 also).  Remember that Saturdays and Sundays do not count in the training week/day count.  So....today for 189/190 should be 2-1, tomorrow 2-2, hold on the weekend, and then Monday will be 2-3.  There are 5 training days, so each Thurs, your division will be starting the next week.  That is....until Memorial Day!  Holidays set them back a day....so your division day 1 will then be Friday rather than Thurs.  No worries that this delays training...it is all taken into consideration when they set up the training schedule and they will graduate on time!

The form letters can take from a few days to 2-3 weeks to arrive.  If yours does not, is there anyone else that your SR could have mailed it to?  They only mail out one.  However, I was told by someone up there that in a divorce situation, your SR can actually request 2 copies of the letter so he/she can send one to each parent.  I don't know how many SRs ask this though...and they may not be aware that they can do this.

Deb:  Is your SR going to be staying in GL for A School?  If so, you will have Friday after PIR, once he moves over to that base, with him for Liberty (until 9 or 10 pm), and then Daytime Liberty with him on Sat. and Sun.  If he is flying out to A School, most likely he will be leaving on Saturday, but occasionally they leave on Sunday, so we suggest that all book their returns on Sunday if possible rather than Sat.  You will be allowed to visit with your sailor at the airport.  Bring ID and you can get the airlines gate pass so you can wait until your sailor's plane departs.

You all remember that if you book on Southwest Airlines, you can change your flights if necessary with no change fee.  Also 2 bags check for free.  They fly into Milwaukee WI (45 min to GL) and also Chicago-Midway (hour+ to GL depending on traffic).

mrsrds2012: My husband left the day before yours, and I live in Florida. I would assume our mail would arrive at the same time. :-\ Hmmm.

Just received two letters and my military ID packet from the hubby. He left on 4/9/14 - and we live in Oregon. Hope that helps.

jovilla: That's awesome that you heard from your SR! :-) Our SRs are in the same ship and division. When did you receive your call? I would assume they'd make them at the same time.

The form letter states the address for writing and the PIR date but nothing about liberty.  I think you get the information from your SR when PIR gets closer.   When did your SR leave?  They can write the 2nd or 3rd Sunday they are there.  They all look forward to writing and mail letters as soon as they can so I would think you should be receiving something from your SR soon.  I am in Illinos.
