missinghim, He might be on hold at GL waiting for a spot to open up at SD. A-school was about 9 wks for my son, he said some had been there wks, even months still waiting to class up. My son is not looking forward to leaving Thurs. Congrats to you & your boyfriend.
Denise, another ky mom yay! I remember what it was like waiting for that first call. Do you know if others from his div. have made calls? I do know they have to earn the phone calls, mine usually came on Saturday. Graduation is awesome, bet you can't wait.
missinghim, It depends on if he is 4 years or 6 years. 4 goes right to SD. 6 stays in GL for a few weeks. My son might go six but he is in SD right now and had to wait four weeks to class up (holds). He classed up when he stated the class. He was told different things at BC and just had to wait until just before PIR to know for sure that he really was going right to SD. Be patient and it will all be OK.
Phoebe, I know he will miss the group too. I told him it seems he is on "vacation" instead of in the military. He replied but I am & I'm also learning at the same time. They do enjoy volleyball, he sprained his finger during one game recently. LOL I am so glad he was able to meet you & your family during your visit. When does your son graduate?
Deb, Thanks for the info on graduation, I was feeling bad because we couldn't make it. This will be the first event of his we will miss. I am excited to see him . He lives about 2 1/2 hrs from us, where he has been attending college, so it will be nice to be able to spend time w/him. Not sure where is path is going next, finishing college or if he has decided to go full Navy? He tells me last minute because he said I get to emotional. Which I do. LOL
