Thank you diannep. It's great to have someone to spell it out for me, I knew it was good because he was so proud of himself. My heart is full of happiness and love, and yes full of pride.

kim,

Midway is within 50 miles of RTC, but not sure if anyone is allowed to accompany folks to the boarding gates without a boarding pass.  It's different when you are seeing your Sailor or military loved ones off, but not sure about when it is just regular travelers.  Maybe call Midway Airport and ask?

I know the grads have a radius they have to stay within the weekend of PIR...my daughter has to fly home on Sat out of Midway and I was wondering if my son can go with us to take her to the airport or if that is outside the radius.

amity:  Some of the sailors can move up during their schooling depending on the type of schooling they have/length of time....say from E-3 to E-4.  Others will have to complete the E-4 test....not all of those will be able to move up....even though they pass the test....depends on other factors too.

As far as the collar devices he mentioned, those are for the Recruit Leadership positions.  Once Bootcamp is over, all of the Recruit Leadership is over too.  But the collar devices are pretty neat for them during Bootcamp!

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon.  Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

     "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

      I have summoned you by name;  you are mine. 

      When you pass through the waters,

      I will be with you; and when you pass

      through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

      When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

      the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord,

      your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                 Isaiah 43:1b-3a
