alepesmom: You should have the rest of the day on Friday (PIR is over around 10:30). They usually have to be back at RTC around 8 or 9 pm. But...if they are GradNGo to GL A School, then they move over right after PIR...for a few hours...then use their phone card to call you after that to pick them up. They will need to be back on A School base each night, but should have weekend daytime with you. If they are flying out on Sat., then you should be able to meet them at the airport (in the wee hours of the morning!)and wait with them, even getting a military gate pass so that you can go to the gate with them. This is assuming that they are not on a charter flight.....which means no family/friends can visit.

Agapemomma: Welcome to the group!
GinosMom: Glad you found your way here from the 5/6 group!
Carrie: On the phone cards, get your SR one with at least 500-700 minutes on it. When they use it from the pay phones, it takes up alot of their minutes just to connect so they need the extra time. Make sure it is activated before you send it so your SR doesn't have to worry about taking the time to do that. Your SR can also buy one at the NEX...but many of the ladies mail them cards so they have them right away and don't have to spend their own money.
