Good Morning!

Needzanap,

Most who are not staying at A school in Great Lakes, will be bussed to the airports at about 1 am on late Friday/early Saturday morning, then will be flying out in batches throughout the Saturday.  Make your return flight back Saturday evening at the very least.  But if you can stay until Sunday (in case your SR ends up with a Sunday flight--rare, but it has happened), then you can be available or just see some stuff around Chicago after your SR is gone.

Kit:  Unfortunately, they will not know details until right before PIR.  But if they are flying out to A School, it is more than likely to be the day after PIR.  However, we suggest that all stay until Sunday if possible just in case they don't fly out until Sunday so you would have extra Liberty with your new sailor.

I was wondering the same thing. The letter said those SR's going to A school out of state normally fly out on Saturday. Does anyone know when we would find out? It is so hard making travel plans without knowing.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. We spent the day at the lake with our family and had a nice time. We even saved a lost 8 yr old boy. We were at the picnic area and he was with several members of his family. They packed up all their stuff in 3 different cars to leave. He went to the bathroom to change and when he came back all of his family was gone. He didn't even know any of their phone numbers or his home address. I called 911 and told them we had found a lost child and the sheriffs dept came. The family live over an hour away and after about 40 min the realized they had left him. Mom thought he was in dads car and dad thought he was with mom. When they figured it out they call 911 to say their child was lost/left behind. I guess they were worried something would happen to him before they got back. The whole ordeal took about 2 hours before the parents got back to get him. He didn't cry but we could tell he was really worried. His dad came to thank us and I told him, in a nice way, to teach that child their cell phone number. Thank goodness we found him and it all turned out okay :) We also went to my mom's grave site and cleaned it and put flowers there. She passed away Dec 20th and I sure do miss her.

I received my package and letter today! That made my day! Yesterday was my first Mother`s Day without my mother and son. My mom passed away on Labor Day, 2013. My son could not contact me. Today, was wonderful!

New to this, very new. Not computer savvy to boot. We just rec'd the letter with the PIR date. My son is going on to Nuke school afterward. Does anyone know if he will have any free time on the (Saturday) day after the ceremony? We are trying to figure out travel plans.

Yeah, I got the first normal call Saturday. It made my day. Today I got the form with the PIR date. I know it's still early but my count down begins :-)

Ok...so ellen, we need snow herein S FL then, so it melts and waters our grass!  We are very DRY down here....danger of brush fires if we don't get some rain soon.  It is always bad when the rain is so reduced that parts of the Everglades are closed down to airboats, and wildlife dies.  So.....SEND RAIN PLEASE!  :-)
