My brother is in the same Ship and Div also. He got his first phone call on Tuesday also. Sadly no one was answering at first but he called my sister twice and she was crying while listening to his voice mail that let her know she missed his call when he called back. My Step Father also answered after being called a second time. I hope we hear from him soon!

She is going to Pensacola, Fl. I have not made hotel reservations yet since I am not sure how many of us can go or how long we are staying....do you have any suggestions - I know we want to stay somewhere close.
I see that your son is RCPO - My daughter is Laundry PO - not sure what it all means either!! LOL She did like to do laundry here at home - but that was only because she would find money in the dryer!! LOL :-) -

Wish we had extra space... sorry .....Good Luck.

We are from the Richmond, Va area. Though she has family in Michigan that are coming as well. What job does your son have? She is going for Avaition Tech - mechanics - it's the only thing the Navy had open and since she wanted to go ahead and get started she took it...not her dream job for sure but its a start! Her A school is 17 weeks long. I'll check out the Comfort Inn. Thanks!! :-)

My son is a Machinist Mate. His school is at Great Lakes. We are from Chicago, so we will get a chance to see him while he is in school I suppose. Does anyone know how much leave they get the weekend of graduation? Trying to find out if we can get him home at all that weekend. Maybe even surprise him with a get together.

If you live within 50 miles of RTC then you can take him home. They get Friday-Sun for Liberty,. If he is G&G to GL he may get overnights. If he's not G&G then he has to be back at 8 oclock ( I think) he'll know for sure.
