Shannon: They will be bussed to the airports to wait for flights late Fri night/wee hours Sat. morning, most likely. First flights don't leave until around 6 or 6:30 a.m. on Sat., but many will be waiting much longer for their flights---families can meet them at the airports. Bring ID and you should be able to get an airlines gate pass to wait with them until departure at the gate.
As far as visiting them at A School, they will have to "phase up" there before being allowed to leave he base. Your new sailor will be advised of all of this during INDOC upon arrival at A School.

My son was able to call on Sunday. We were so excited to hear from him! He sounds really good! He's in ship 2 div 936. He will be going to A school in Pensacola. He also told us that he will be leaving Friday evening after graduation. I am so bummed about that because I was hoping for more time with him. I guess once he gets to Pensacola he will have weekends off and we can go see him then?

Hello all!
My son is DIV 242. He will be IT. I hope that those of us can join together and stay motivated and prayed up until we see our SRs again. I did receive a phone call today about security clearance references, which was such a surprise. My husband was even home for lunch, so he got to speak to our son. We did get a chance to talk to him and he is doing great. I am looking forward to meeting you all.

Thank you so much diannep! I'll cross my fingers for a letter tomorrow :)

Bronco: It is possible that they had their first letters home collected this past Sunday...mailed out yesterday. If so, you all will start having your expected "mail" day. And....they will now receive mail M-F. But they can only mail out on Mondays.
Ahhhhh, IslandGal: I know your tears were both happy to hear his voice on the message and sad to miss him! But glad you still had that message!

So had to listen to some old voice mails today to get to a current one...the first was from my son on my birthday ...boy did the elephant tears come! So be careful, don't listen to old saved messages without Kleenex!

Has anyone gotten a personal letter from their sailor yet? I am crossing my fingers for one tomorrow. This past Sunday was likely the first day they had available to write, right? I can't wait to get this letter thing going! haha

prdofmyfabs,Where they are going for A School will depend on their rating (job). Some A Schools are in GL, and some have a rating that will keep them in GL for some "pre" before moving to A School, but most do not.
What is your recruits rating (job).
