From what I have gathered, they can come home for Christmas if they have leave saved up. They get 2.5 days a month starting from BC. How long they can be gone varies from A schools. They have to pay their own way to and from! My daughter is going to her A school in San An TX, and I know she will want to come home even if only for a few days. I live in WA state as well and I won't be able to afford the trip to her PIR :( But my ex-husband and 2 other daughters will be attending.

We certainly understand as we cannot afford the trip to PIR. It is killing us to not be able to. Of well, life in this economy. Thanks for all your great posts. I really enjoy them.

We have received 4 letters thus far. Thank God his last letter was so positive. It is the process of hearing him becoming a man. We are so proud of him and all of the SR's that have taken this important step in their lives.

I got a call from my daughter in law today. My son is in division 423 & he had someone else call her today. It would seem that he had dry socket from having his wisdom teeth pulled and couldn't talk, but someone else called her to relay messages. Sounds like everything is going good. Found out today my son is a team leader. So hard to believe.

I pray they all do well. My SR is 21 & married but he is still my baby & my heart is full of joy as well. This is a very wonderful road these children of ours has chosen and I'm proud of all of them even though I only know one. I will pray for all of them.

Just got my phone call he sounds so good got his wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday and is a little sore. The phone he was on was having a static problem so we were having a little bit of a hard time understanding him. I am so glad to have heard from him. I can't wait for PIR and to be able to see him.

I thought my daughter would too but didn't have to, thank goodness since she been a little sick already. She debated getting them pulled before BC. She did go to the dentist a few months prior to BC and had a few fillings done, she was surprised when they told her she needed to have a tooth fixed!
