About planning to stay the weekend and monday(Holiday) make sure your son/daughter or spouse, isn't a grad and go, which means he leaves for school the very next day. Would be a waste of money to travel/hotel for the weekend to only spend that one evening with him. I think about that all the time, because I'm in California which is on the Other Side of the US from Illinois and I have 2 very young children I will be taking with me.

They aren't holding the mail just to mess with recruits.
In the final days of processing, when a division is about to start Day 1-1, a Mail Petty Officer (MPO) is selected. Because mail is federally regulated, it has to be handled and delivered by a person who is trained by the US Post Office. This has to be done in their "spare time."
When the MPOs training is complete, and s/he is certified by the USPS, then the recruits get their mail.

Arwen--you just made my day! That's great news :D

About federal holidays, usually sailors DO get the holiday off. Since President's Day is Monday after PIR, then you new sailors will probably get Friday through Monday off to be with you, four full days of liberty! I hadn't looked at the calendar yet.
I would recommend planning to stay in Chicago until Tuesday, if you can.

NavyWife--as far as I know they are allowed to, but it's not recommended because it will draw attention to himself as an individual which is never good. What I do is I just print them out. If you have a printer that would probably be easiest.
Another Mom on here (sorry, forgot who!) was going to the library to photo copy all of her photos onto one sheet so that's another option if you want to.
Oh and ladies--the New Year is here...that means we made it through December! Yippee!! We made it through the month that they left! :D

Question, does anyone know if they are allowed to receive oversized letters, not like care packages, but manilla envelopes?(I cant spell btw) I want to send more pictures but its hard to send more then 3 or 4 pics in a standard envelope.
-

My husband is going to have a ton too! I send him one envelope per day, sometimes more if I have sports updates or whatever LOL. Then my parents, his parents, my siblings, and his grandparents have been writing him a little too. He won't ever have time to read it all :P
-

It was funny because when I spoke to my hubby on the phone he asked me to send pics of me and the kids... and I was like, yes I already sent them in both letters lol, now all you have to do is receive them... I'm not much of a writer though, hard to have time to write with a 2 year old and a 4 month old, I can barely think straight LOL... but I was able to get a page and a picture out after they went to bed...
