Hey Perri that is great news about Bob! Seems like he has come along way in the short time he has been there. Remember how nervous he was when he first got there?? :) A fight or something right?? My son was there and gone in 4 weeks. He's an SK now stationed at Lemoore NAS in Ca. It is possible to get
thru Meridian fast if your sailor is in a self paced class there. Few tips for you guys who sailors are just getting there. When my son was there they could not leave the base alone, buddy system which I thought was a great idea!! If they
do call for a cab they should allow plenty of time for it to arrived to get them back to the base, sometimes the cabbies like to try and make them late.
The best cell phone reception is at the smoke pit. Your sailor will know where that is. :) Lastly there is no point in overnighting anything. USP will not overnight
anything to a base so save your money and 2 day any package. Small boxes
seem to get there quicker that a letter so no matter how small the box send a box!! Hope this has been some help. congrats to all who have PIR-ed or will be soon. Hope someones sailor might be with mine in Lemoore!
