My daughter got a missed call from area code 309, which is Illinois. We aren't sure if it was our SR or not, as there was no message left. So watch for that area code as well as 847.

Hi. Yes, my SR is on Ship 06 Div 039 and going got nuke A school. This is our only experience with BC. Any ideas about the timing for when they will need to go to airport and then fly out? I've heard conflictng info ranging from Friday night to 1 am airport arrival / 6 am flight, to 3 pm flights. Trying to decide if we should plan to stay in Great Lakes til Sunday or leave Saturday morning. We are driving from Memphis and need to be back to work Monday. Any insight is much appreciated!

When I spoke to my SR he said the same thing about possible times to leave. We are just going to play it by ear and change our departure to see him before he leaves. Guess we won't find out until PIR. -

Sailors leaving for A School will depart the RTC sometime between 12am-2am Saturday morning to head to the airports (a few exceptions may leave on Sunday). Flights out can start at 6am and go through early evening,
Your Sailor will have his orders sometime in the last couple weeks of BC right up to PIR, so ask him/her to give you a heads up in their next phone call as soon as orders are received
