Hiya just on here for abit to print out bc questionnaires..got address on 5th..put 2 letters in mail on 6 ,1 today and ill do questionnaires on Monday and i bought a card for Tuesday.I feel like its a lot at first but ive seen people say they do sev per day ..i figure these first days ill do everyday and then maybe every other day..id hate for him to get made fun of for too much mail.as it is the questionnaire was 5 pages printed 2 stamps and im hoping even though i creased it good that it doesnt look too big for an attention getter.im afraid if i make my son mad/embarrassed that will cut me off from writing !!

How do you find out what school they will be going to after PIR.

-
ethansmom: On Southwest's tickets....they aren't refundable, but if you don't use it, you have up to a yr to use it. No change fee, 2 checked bags for free.
Yes, loveofanavy....ships are air conditioned. As far as seeing your SR on 8/10, not sure about that. You would have to have the password to get on base and be a "guest" on someone's list. You could call the Public Affairs Office and ask about that on Monday: 847-688-2405

I just created a group for Ship 9 Div 268. I sent invites to those on my friends list, but anyone else with a SR in that division is more than welcome to join...I have a really hard time keeping up with everyone in this group!

Klh17. I know how it is splitting time between families! My ex will be attending PIR also (seating has been a big issue) but he says he is not staying after PIR. They will be driving back. I'm baffled that he doesn't wasn't to stay and spend time with his son, but glad because they means more time for me :)
you should have most of Friday to spend with your son.
Will y'all be trying to go to SA at all? Idk how A school is. Do they have weekends off? There is a lot to do in SA. I'm only about 3 1/2 hrs away.

Hunter518 - He is going to A School in San Antonio to be a Corpsman. I'm pretty certain we will stay longer just in case we can get more time with him, as any time he does have, he has to split between the 2 families.
