Hi Ann Marie,

I can tell you that my son got to GP the day after Thksgiving and had to wait 3 months for CB school.  He says he sat alot. Got to go to a retirement home to talk to older people, sometimes helped guys build or wire something. He was very bored.  I have had the worse luck with that post office. He would only get his pkgs and sometimes mail. Some mail was sent back and pkgs took weeks to get. Don't know if he just couldn't get there or what.  It always seems. He's been his battalion for two weeks and I still don't have an address. I get very frustrated with it all. I don't know if it's him or the P.O. He still had watch during this time of waiting. I wish I was a fly on the wall to figure this out.  Good Luck!!

Thank you very much Denise. I can't stand the waiting without word, but I appreciate your help.

Hello again, not trying to be a pain in the ass, but here I go again....  I tried asking my "A" school mom's group but didn't get a reply. My son is in student holding. I overnighted all his electronics Monday and they did arrive Tuesday mid afternoon. Will he have to earn the privilege of using them? and when will he be allowed to use them? What do they do in Gulfport when they are in holding? How long can holding be for? Do they have a routine? Does he get free time on nights or just weekend. Sorry, but I'm a new Navy Momma and thought I would have heard from him more. Thank you all!

Tobianne- It wasn't a problem at all. I am going to miss her very much. I promised her I would come visit as soon as I could. I'm also trying to get her to have a positive attitude about California. Everything is better when you have a smile and good attitude! It was a very emotional goodbye for all of us. We sure do love her. But it definitely isn't goodbye, like you said, just see you soon.

Well my kiddo finally landed at LAX. After she went through a complete screw up yesterday. Somehow when she was suppose to be on her flight yesterday they had voided out her ticket. So 2 hours on the phone with whomever schedules the flights faxes back and forth, she got a flight this morning and is now there.

Sad she had to leave many friends in GP. She will reconnect with many that left her, and make many new friends.

 

Also I just need to tell Amanda,  Girl you are a Saint. Thanks for hanging in there and going through that with Kayla. I know she has said she is going to miss you and your hubby so very much along with a few others she called me crying about having to say goodbye to.

Never good bye though, just see ya soon.

Hello, my son just landed in Gulfport for A school. Could anyone tell me what he can expect? He is a BU. Also where do a majority get deployed? That might be a stupid question, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thank you.
