Janlee, maybe I used the wrong word when I said deployed. I mean wherever they go after A school, whether it's a base of a ship. I mean things like clothes, computer, she even wonders if she will need her dishes if she is on a base, or things like an iron. Do I ship all that to her or does the navy help? Hard to know exactly what she will need, I guess. We probably have about 6 boxes of her stuff.

claysgirl--ohhh...ok then, its all good...lol!
It looks like everything is moving along so good for all you ladies!! Learning how everything works, making friends, getting letters...next will be the CALLS!!! Its a crazy ride, it chugs along at first but then it will start moving faster and faster, especially now that you are able to correspond with them. And before you know it, you will be packing for PIR..:))

He bought a black backpack when school was starting up last fall, yes, it's black and has expanded sides and lots of pockets! I was even able to put his wireless keyboard along with his laptop and all the cables inside! It's fully packed! I think I am going to surprise him with it and not tell him we have it (just in case he is on a chartered flight). I hope not, I really want him to at least have his cell phone!

navyjane---Do you mean clothes and such? You will be able to ship them their things a week or so after they get to Aschool. Now im talking personal items, clothes, shoes, jackets, etc...There is a liberty card system, your sailor will explain that later on in BC, that allows them certain types of liberty and what they are allowed to wear and such.
We pay to ship these things ourselves. You mentioned 'deployed'...is you SR going to be on a ship/sub?...

Janlee thats a nickname its not part of any of his Given name.. he's named after a family member so its a family name to tell them apart I am VERY carful not to use his real name in any maner that he can be tracked down. AND i checked his papers that came with his box. He has them calling him his given name he isnt using his nickname. Thank you though

NavyJane since they are GradnGo YOU can bring their stuff to GL with you and when you see them at the Airport you can give it to them. They just cant have it while they are staying on the bootcamp barracks. All of their other stuff i believe we have to pay to ship to them :/

Does anyone know anything about getting our sailor's things to them after A school? I mean when they get deployed. Do we pay to ship them their stuff or does the navy pay for it?

Congratulations on getting your letters!!! Its exciting..i know! I hope they were all filled with goodness and not badness...lol..I dont even know if thats a word but you know what i mean!!
Two things claysgirl---i dont know why i never realized this before..but we are asked to tell the moms/GF's etc...about not using your SR's name in any posts, especially with particular division numbers. Especially with the 800 divisions. And remember everyone...there is NO last names to be used at all.
Also..quiltblue---im glad you are packing his backpack with everything he might need, It will make it so much easier to have contact with him while hes traveling. I dont know if you caught it in diannes post, but the backpack needs to be black. During my sons PIR weekend we searched everywhere for black one and couldnt find one, so he had to wait and get one at BESS (his Sub School), so you moms might want to keep an eye open when you go shopping.
If he does need to fly out the next day...hope for a plane delay...haha!

Well, I packed my SR's backpack with his laptop, keyboard, camera, phone, some clothes, and will have it ready to give him if he does G&G. I don't care if I only get to see him for the day! I MISS MY BABY! LOL, he is almost 25 years old! We have planned for the whole weekend, but will take whatever the Navy gives us. No letter for us today.
