Comment by danag2011 on April 6, 2011 at 10:43pm: Got a short letter today. He passed his second test, one more to go. Then at the very end of the letter he said he had pneumonia and they gave him mucinex and tylenol and took a chest x-ray and said they would get back to him. He is starting to feel better now. He said everyone is coughing and he is getting really irritated because nobody covers their mouth.

Comment by cclivingston on April 6, 2011 at 10:37pm: I really need to stop reading RTC fb page. A parent just posted that he got a call from his SR that he wouldn't be graduating on time because he blew out his knee. I'm getting very anxious about my SR and his hurt leg. I didn't get a letter today or phone call so I'm going with "no news is good news" I'm just worried about his final PFA. I believe it's suppose to be Friday.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 6, 2011 at 10:34pm: That's awesome Janlee, I know you are excited. I am going to VA to spend Spring Break with my sailor the end of April and I am counting down the days :-) Have a great time and travel safely.

Comment by janlee on April 6, 2011 at 10:32pm: Ladies--i will be off the site for a few days...going to pick up my Sailor in CT and bring him home for a week. Ive only seen him 2 1/2 days out of 4 months and i CANT WAIT!!! Hope you keep hearing from your SR's and i will catch up when i get back!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 6, 2011 at 10:12pm: I believe they can also be asmoed after battle stations. There were a couple who got in trouble after battlestations and the capping ceremony just a week or 2 ago.I can't remember what for but I think it was for goofing off and I heard they did not have PIR and were asmoed.

Comment by hholiday42211 on April 6, 2011 at 9:56pm: thanks, my sailor is staying in GL, so he won't need a backpack.

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2011 at 9:49pm: proud4son: They can be asmoed anytime before BattleStations.

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2011 at 9:48pm: If your sailor wants to take personal things with him/her to A School, and they are flying out, they need to carry this in a plain black backpack. You can include cell, laptop, some civilian clothes that they can wear in the hotel room at PIR and then when phased up at A School, etc. Their seabags and garment bags are packed full, plus you wouldn't want to check these items anyway.
