@ browns57: Hahahaha well we made national news, my brother in law is stationed at Camp Pendelton and he called and ask if we were snowed in :-) I have nephew stationed down at Ft. Bliss right now and our son will soon be leaving Meridian for CT :-( IDK how active their group is all these changes. Hope everyone had a great weekend we did my hubby(truckdriver) was home saw the grandbabies so it was nice.
@ browns57: He has his orders but he is still in MS for a few more days :-) he said they had a good day today and were watching movies tonight. I told him to enjoy it i have heard horror stories about sub school UGH.....the internet has TMI for this mom. How is your son adjusting? Bet he's loving it :-)
@ Colby'sproudmom: The USO is a great thing isn't it. The staff at O'Hare are fantastic and you would think the Navy thing would get old to them but it doesn't seem that way there. Your son is going to love A school there, there is so much to do depending on his age they have a bar, bowling, liberty center etc. etc.
Woot woot!!!! My son passed all his modules and test (with an average of 90) and is now in TPU which means he has nothing to do but help out as needed until he flies out to his next school in Groton CT. He is so happy and I am so proud of him. He is especially happy no PFA tomorrow LOL I told him well enjoy it I hear BESS (sub school) is like bootcamp IT and he just snickered IDK what they have done to my son but the transormation is AMAZING.
@ Colby'sproudmom: LOL that's great glad he will get to so something on his birthday. And so glad they have that stuff on base the cab ride to town is ridiculous like $25 each way UGH..... and LMAO my son said the same thing about the bed but, that will be short lived LOL.
@ sbarber - does your son get to come home for liberty before going to his next school? If I understand my son correctly once he finishes his A school he will get his orders but get to come on for a couple of weeks. We are hoping for it to be around Thanksgiving. If so we will celebrate an early Christmas before he leaves.
@ browns57: No he doesn't get to home home between schools but it's gonna work out so he will be hoome for Christmas since he did his A school his sub school is only a month long so before his 1st duty station he gets leave :-) YEAH so happy I can't wait to see him it's been too long as some of you know he was injured at RTC and his bootcamp was over 4mths long so that Friday afternoon and Saturday morning just hasn't cut it for me :-0 i need to see my son. It also means that he has more leave available since he was at RTC so long. Yeah again.... And I told my family all the same thing Christmas will be whenever your brother is here PERIOD!!!!! Noone argued with mom LOL
@ Colby'sproudmom: I hear ya girl any time is better than no time. However tell him to ask around there is a program called recruiters assistant in which they can get not only more leave put on their books but also get to stay home longer and not lose all their leave time. ******Thats something for everyone to take note of by the way :-)*******
@ Christa : Where you been girl???? You get you a new DVD player yet ;-) hope your doing good keep in touch.
@ browns57: Thanks I can't wait LOL and I know the leave thing is really cool my son's recruiter is the one that told me about it after he found out my son was injured and staying gone so long after bootcamp. I thought that was pretty cool of him :-)
Hope all is well for everyone. What a switch, yesterday my daughter received a box from my son. He sent her two Navy t-shirts & a hoodie. He sent me a Navy Mom t-shirt along with a I love my sailor magnet. I can't wait to wear my new shirt.
@ browns57: Aaaaw how sweet see they really do love each other LOL I know we all think at times they don't. And geeze he could've saved that for Christmas what sweeety pie, that or he wasn't thinking LOL JK.
I plan on wearing my new Navy Mom shirt to work on Friday for Veteran's day! My son posted on facebook that he only has 4 more modules to complete, hoping to maybe graduate a week from Friday. Were just hoping he gets his orders in enough time to fly home for Thanksgiving.
Hi, everyone. Sorry I have not been on here in a while. I am still here... just been extremely busy lately. My son asked us to come down to Meridian over Thanksgiving. We are looking so forward to seeing him!! YEA!!!!!
sbarber, we have not gotten a new blu-ray disc player yet. Too busy to even watch movies... LOL!
browns57, too sweet!!! And what an awesome thing for your son to do!!!
My son will pir on this friday and was wondering if he will have liberty after he gets to a school there in maridian on saturday. Im just trying to decide if we should fly there on saturday too after graduation.
Welcome proudflmom, I'm glad you found this group. After my son pir he flew out early Saturday morning. It was great that we got to the airport in time to give him his cell phone. He was able to text me as he was traveling to Meridan & we were traveling home. The fly into Jackson and then take a bus to Meridan. He did have liberty on base Sunday & Monday. I don't believe your son would beable to leave the base until he phases up and gets his green dot. I do not know what the rules are for you going on base.
Hello browns57: yes my son is in CT at sub school now :-) been there since the 4th still hasn't classed up maybe the 20th they are telling him. He should be getting his orders very soon maybe its the holidays messing everything up. Let us know what happens.
proudflamom: She is correct about the liberty, they have to earn it. I don't even know if you would be allowed to go there that soon. But who knows maybe call their PAO and ask it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Christa: Hey girl what are you going for Thanksgiving??? sounds like fun get the blue ray while your there LOL. Girl I hear ya about being busy good grief time flies. Have a great visit and a safe trip and tell us all about it when you get back :-)
My son finally got his orders, he is headed for a Frigate in San Diego. He still hopes to be home next week but said he would not know until the day before. I can't wait to pick him up at the airport. I do hope he males it for Thanksgiving since he will miss Christmas.
Today my son will graduate.....He was suppose to find out yesterday if he got to leave today or not. Well according to him Pensacola decided to change the outdocking period from 2 days to 3 days, so his transfer paperwork won't be done until today. He said there's always a chance that maybe he will get home Saturday. Not the same as him being here for Thanksgiving but we will take it and he will eat leftovers.
@ Christa - I hope you & your husband have a great time with your son on Thanksgiving.
@Proudflamom - Hows your son doing since arriving in Meridan.
@sbarber -I'm sure you have moved on now to a new group for your son's C school. Has he classed up yet?
@Colby's proudmom - How is your son doing?
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Here's hoping our sailor's have a great dinner in Meridan!
I need to vent! My son graduated last Thursday and has orders to go to VA dated 11/23 (today) but he has been told they do not know when he will get to leave. So there he sits doing nothing. I am very frustrated not know when he will get to leave, it seems since he has a job in VA that they would have this all worked out already. I so hoping to get to see him for Thanksgiving.
@ Brentsmom07div301- I feel you. My son graduated today his orders are to San Diego He did get the word today that he would be coming home on Saturday we have ho idea when,,, I told him not to worry about I will be ther when he finds out. We had also hoped to have him for Thanksgiving since he will miss Christmas but I guess this is the first of many holidays he will miss.
Thank you browns57 I hope your son gets home Saturday safe and sound.
SO I have to eat crow....My son deceided to not to tell us that he got to come today. He gets to stay home for about a week and a half, he has to be in VA by Dec 11.
@ browns57: Hello, hope you guys are having a great day, I have joined the Groton group but I check all my others too :-) He actually has classed up and is enjoying it there, he went to Thanksgiving dinner with a loal family that adopted him :-) he will be coming home for Christmas I am so glad... and then he will graduated from Sub school the end of Jan. So busy, busy. Enjoy your time with your son.
@Christa: Did you guys have a great time in MS? I'm guessing yes :-)
@ Brentsmom07div301: Wasn't that a great surprise. I watch that show Coming Home and I swear if my son did that it would give me heart failure. Enjoy your Sailor.
All is great here, my son left Meridian this morning his plane will land in Columbus in less than 2 hours. He will be here until the 6th and its off to San Diego. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Hi, everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We had a great time with our son over Thanksgiving. We actually picked him up and drove to New Orleans. It was so nice to spend some time with him. It felt like I had not seen him in years! :-)
My son received his verbal orders for Lemoore. He is set to graduate from Meridian next Friday. I know that he will be coming home for a short period afterwards but I'm not sure when that will be or when he will have to report to Lemoore. Guess it will depend on when he receives his written orders. Whenever it is and however long it is, I'll take it!!
Welcome Chris's Mom - You son will actually arrive Saturday afternoon. He will love it, so much different than BC.. My son had a good time while he was there, made anot of new friends. He graduated A school and flew home last Saturday for some leave, its great to have him home. Too bad he missed Thanksgiving & will miss Christmas. We are having an early Christmas this weekend. He will leave for San Diego on the 7th. Who knows when we will see him again. Thank goodness for cell phones & skype!
@ Christa - Glad to hear you guys had a great time over Thanksgiving. Did you bring home the blue ray player? Where is Lemoore?
My son had to buy an additional seabag to get all his stuff home, he had two seabags, hanging clothes bag, back pack & his laptop bag.
Welcome, Chris! What job will your son be training for in Meridian?
browns57, I'm so happy that you have your son home for a bit. I know that you have missed him!! I hope you all have a wonderful celebration this weekend!!
We did not bring home the blu-ray disc player. I asked my son about it but he said he would just going to ship it and the game system back home. LOL! Lemoore is in California. He recently posted on Facebook that he will be deployed soon after his arrival there. Still trying to get some more info on that.
@ Christa Glad you has such a good time how was New Orleans?? LOL about the game system and blue ray...bet he's secretly hoping you forget about them ;-) Please keep us posted I bet your kinda freaking now over a quick deployment I know I would be.
@ browns57 I'm so glad your son is home I know you will have a wonderful time, enjoy every last minute of it. Too funny about all the bags you would think they would learn to travel a little bit lighter hahaha
I hope you each have a great day still waiting to see if we get our CHIT approved for Christmas.. more hurry up and wait but he should graduate submarine school 1/27 so kinda nervous about that. Not sure I'm deployment ready yet especially since he will be "UNDER" the sea.
Proudflamom - Are you talking about a taxi for you or one for your son when he leaves? I have never when to Meridian so I would have no clue where to find a taxi.
Chris's Mom - Was that from the airport in Meridan or Jackson? I know when my son arrived there from bootcamp, they flew from Chicago to Jackson and then rode a bus from Jackson to Meridan. When my son came home for leave They went to Meridan, I didn't even know there was an airport there. My son said its so small there wasn't any place to eat and no tv"s. They have two flights a day. They flew from Meridian to Atlanta and from there they flew home.
@ proudflamom - If you are planning a trip, maybe you should look into flying through Atlanta to Meridian.
I would suggest that ya'll get your recruits to call or go to the ITT dept on base they can help with travel plans and I'm betting would have some suggestions on shuttles to and from the airports. My son is no longer in MS but, the ITT dept where he is now is also taking down names and getting guys to share cabs on the days the shuttles aren't running hope that helps someone out have a blessed day.
@Christa: I get to see my son finally after all thse months his CHIT got approved yesterday and he will be home from the 18th-2nd. Happy mama dance.
@ sbarber - That's great news! I'm so happy for you. Enjoy every minute. My son did RAP all last week and is trying to get everything packed up to leave tomorrow. I've enjoyed my time with him although he was trying to see everyone. and was gone most evenings. The last two weekends have been great with all of my children home. Tomorrow the house will be quite again when I come home from work. I'm saving my pennies for a trip to San Diego. He is so ready to move on and get busy.
My son left last night on his way to Norfolk he needs to be there Wednesday. We had a great week and a half, it was so nice to see and hug him. I am wishing everyone the same something during the holidays.
@browns my son is also ready to get busy, the last week in MS was hard for him just sitting and waiting. He hates doing nothing...
Thank you all for being here even if I did interact much I enjoyed know others are in the same boat. lol
@Brentsmom07div301 - I believe my son will arrive early, I think he originally said that he was to report to his ship by the 10th. He is lucky to have someone from his ship picking him up at the airport so he will not have to take a taxi. He has said that he has talked to other Sailors on his ship.
Well he made it to VA this afternoon and is settled in on the ship. He has meet another AZ that I have been talking to his mother on Navy4moms that has helped him get through today. I am even more glad that I found this site after today.
@browns57 and @Christa good luck to your sons travels1
hi ladies glad hear all of you doing good and half of all your son are already graduate from the school,me?been busy finish all my businness in Va so i can be 100% mississippian.@proudflamom no idea who come or go to meridian but if your son is at the base told him where maybe can find some information,there is taxi parking rigth out side of the front gate all the timewhen i go to base i saw them,well hope help in some way.
Hi, everyone! My son sent me a pic of his certificate of completion for his A school training in Meridian on Friday! He called earlier today and said that there are some pics on Facebook of the entire graduating group. Can't wait to see them. And I can hardly wait to see him - hopefully next week!!
@Christa: Congratulations to you and your son :-) Hope he makes it home safely and you enjoy your holiday with him. I know I can't wait my son is flying home Sunday its gonna be so good to see him.
Thanks sbarber! He called earlier today and said that he should be leaving Meridian tomorrow. Doesn't yet know exactly when... should find out more in the am. I probably won't get any rest tonight! :-)
So happy to hear that your son is flying home this coming weekend. I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!!!!!

Hi, everyone! My son sent me a pic of his certificate of completion for his A school training in Meridian on Friday! He called earlier today and said that there are some pics on Facebook of the entire graduating group. Can't wait to see them. And I can hardly wait to see him - hopefully next week!!
