mtg4life, Ask what your son would like you to bring him. He won't need a TV, and certainly won't need a refridge. He may want some civies, a pair of jeans, a couple t-shirts, and real underwear if he is a boxer boy.

Anything your son has in his room that is not Navy issued must be stored in his closet when not in the room. Anything your son has he also has to be able to move it on his own with no help.

My son also stayed in GL for A School, and in the last three weeks of school he moved five times. Holiday Stand Down is upon them quickly after PIR, and he may need to store everything if he is able to go on leave.

Perhaps when your son is on liberty you can go shopping with him. He may want a real pillow, and a real blanket. :)

Hello everyone my daughter is with Ship 12 division 41. I haven't heard from her since November 1. No calls or letters. My family and I have written many letters, but no response. Has any one in this division heard from their SR? I'm concerned that she could be sad if she can't call and hasn't received letters.

KimmyP,

My son is staying in GL for A school.  what should I pack for him.  I see where you said you spent $400 at Walmart, if you don't mind sharing what does he need.  He has soooo much here from his first year of college. I don't want to buy things twice.  I can pack some things and bring them and mail some other things.  Does he need a fridge, tv, he has a laptop, I know his cell phone, what about blankets, I know toiletries. I am just trying to get everything in order.  I do not need too many surprises at graduation.

Thanks texasmom and fabmom. I got a real phone call!!! I got to talk to him for 30 minutes! He is moved to the special division started PT and is having the bone scan tomorrow morning.  He seems in a little better spirits but is bummed about the set back. Hopefully he keeps the faith and heals quickly!

Kya97, YES YOU DO GET HIM FOR THE WEEKEND!  you will get instruction how to pick him up just about 4 hours after PIR it's difficult but worth it.  Just head back an hour before he is due for curefew , it's critical.  Then the next morning, I went to pick up gate at 5;45 am you can get him at 6 AM, he has to walk out, so a little later, but I didn't want to be late  he had to be back by 10 pm so we left at 8;30 pm and the gate was chuck  full and only got him to his room by 9;45, so be careful . lots to know lots to buy, we shopped Walmart one day and spent $400 it's like college dorm rooms, seriously

let me know if you have any more questions, I am  a GL A school mom

MTG4life, I think that your presentation of coins will be amazing.  I am sure overwhelming to your son.  wait a little after seeing him for the first time, not later, just like 10 minutes later when the initial shock has worn off.  they shove you out of the building by then.  Take a pic of each brother doing it.  If they get "challenged" from someone, they produce their coin and give the history including who presented it.  he will have so much pride ! navy mom hug
