The SR's can pretty much have anything, from phone to a car. For my SR he went out and bought everything he wanted. It seems that they have to much freedom in Meridian, if you understand what I mean by that. MY SR loved it there was never a dull moment and made lots of friends. The town is actually quite a few miles from the base. My SR spent every weekend in town at the mall or on a road trip. They can put weekend leave chit in so they can spend the time away from the base over night.

My hubby has been in Meridian for 2 weeks now.....after spending a whopping 12 weeks in Great Lakes!!! Waiting to find out his permanent base is driving me crazy! I just need to know so that I can research the area and make plans. Is anyone else going crazy from the wait?

We gave our sailor his cell at the airport in Chicago and mailed his laptop once he had his address (he had it in 2 days) - Remember they are EXTREMELY busy once they get there with orientation - first 5 days.... as for their own sheets? I don't think so but it DOES get chilly there and some people buy xtra blankets @ the NEX.....

Can they put on their own bed sheets at Meridian? I heard that's something they enjoy. If so, anyone know the bed size? I am assuming std twin size?

Yes. They said we can bring cellphone and laptop to graduation already. He has to be able to fit it in his black bag. I'm assuming they issue them a bag or have them purchase one.

Just got word that my fiancé will be attending A school here instead of Pensacola now. I’m excited because Meridian, Mississippi is only 4 hours away from me. I look forward to meeting new people. Also, he graduates boot camp on the Dec 21st will he be allowed to bring a cell phone and laptop to school? Thanks!
