Just a reminder that they have to "phase up" in A School before they can wear civilian clothes, so best just to bring a few things.

MissingMyKing: It is best to write and ask your SR/sailor what he/she would want you to bring. Or bring lots of stuff and let your sailor pick what he/she wants, and return home with the extras. They have very limited space to carry things (those flying out). There shouldn't be a problem with those staying in GL for A School returning to that base with personal items.

Thanks Ellen! At that time, do we bring a few clothing items? Can you tell me a few things that are allowed or where I can find this information. Thanks for your help.

Anything you want to give your Sailors cannot be given to them at the RTC right after PIR.
For those leaving GL for A School you can give them cell phones, etc. at the airport, not before. For those staying in GL for school, they can take their things back to base with them Friday night after liberty.

Thank Jaysmom, but my son is staying in GL, so not sure how that works? Don't know if I can give it to him when he is checking into the school.

I have read that you can bring their laptop and phone and give it to them at the airport when the fly out to A school, but the can not have it on base after PIR in Great Lakes. So just have to wait and give it to them at the airport.

Ellen0502 when we go to the graduation are we allowed to bring things at that time for our son to keep at A school, i.e. phone, clothes, laptop? Or do we send it at a later date? Thanks for your help.

Love the poem JackRussellMom! Exactly how I feel ...
Ellen0502 can you tell me which airport is closest to the Navy Center? Or is one better than the other to fly into? Thanks for the help :)

Just looking over my post about E-1 through E-4 and stripes on their uniform at PIR. It should read no stripes E-1, ONE strip E-2, Two stripes E-3. Sorry I mistyped.
