My sailor arrived Saturday. I feel like you do. So kuch better to he in touch. He called everybody. Yesterday they were shown around base. Hung out at bowling alley. Watched the Superbowl. Said the same as yours. Liked it alot better. Weather great. His room is nice. Has everything he needs. We are planning a trip out there on the 15th. He attached to a Marine group which made him a little nervous. Their PT and all is alittle more strenuous. What is your sons rate?

Hi all! My sailor arrived in Meridian yesterday and I have to admit, I love A-school better than boot camp already! I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with him and my husband talked to him 20 minutes earlier today. :) The weather in Mississippi is much warmer than in Great Lakes of course, so he loves that. lol He doesn't actually start "school" for a couple of weeks, but will report for duty tomorrow. I don't think he will get to leave the base for a few weeks, but he said they've got everything he needs right now and the food there is pretty good. Guess we'll have to just wait and see if he still agrees once he can leave the base for "fast food". lol I am confident that he's gonna do well there and especially excited for the day when I can see him again in person. :)

greetings to those who have sailors heading to Meridian. My son left there in Dec. He really enjoyed the freedom, the classes, and the chance to see some of the beautiful country around that area. The time there is short. Encourage your sailors to study hard so they are in a position to have good picks for next duty station. Congrats on BC completion!!!
