Yes, MeridianMom. But he has to return to A School base each night, usually between 8 and 10 pm (he will be advised after moving over there, which occurs shortly after the conclusion of PIR...you pick him up later in the afternoon on that base....the move takes a few hours). No problem that you booked in Chicago....take your sailor with you! Just make sure to return him each night on time. There is a train station right next to A School base/RTC....you may find you can make use of that for transportation.
Good Morning!

My son is in Div 936, and his A-school is going to be in GL. Do I really get to spend the weekend with him? Is that true? I thought I only got to see him after PIR, so I already booked the rest of my vacation in Chicago with the hubby.

JoesMom; If your son is staying in GL for A School, you will have the full weekend (daytime) with him. He will have to return to base each night. If your son is flying out for A School, that most likely will happen the day after PIR so you will have PIR Day with him (he returns to base that night) and you can meet him at the airport the next day and wait until he departs. They are bussed out there in the wee hours of the morning to wait for flights, which can leave anywhere from 6 a.m. until early evening.

My son is in Division 242, Hopper. I have only hear from my son 1 time. Once I was away from my son. :-( Anyway my son is graduating July 17 and I'm wondering how much time I will get to spend with him.
