Chrissy does the Navy pay for their transportation home for a visit? Just wondering. The airfare is so high round trip of 649.00 and hoping he wouldnt have to pay for it out of his pay. Thanks.
Ship 13 div249- the Navy pays for them to go to boot camp, then to A school, then to their first duty station and wherever else the Navy sends them. If they want to come home during leave before they go to their first duty station, they can reroute their plane ticket, but will have to pay the difference if there is any.
Hi ladies! My boyfriend graduates from boot camp on 6/21. He will be going to Meridian for A School after. Is there any links to "rules" when it comes to what they can and can't do while they are there? Thanks!
paigem515 My son is in meridian and it seems once they are granted liberty clearance they can come and go as long as they dont have duty!! They can have there phones and computers as far as rules not sure what u want to know
My daughter is in Meridian going on her 3rd week. She took her computer and iphone after PIR, I just shiped some clothes and other things she had packed. I'll start a care package for her this week. She hasn't classed up yet hopefully soon.
Hello everyone...My son graduated on June 21st and arrived in Meridian on Sat. morning. He seems to like it so far...lot's to get used to from being out of boot camp now. He is in basic training classes this week and will hopefully start his schooling on Monday. He has called home requesting some Civi clothes already.. so this mom is busy cleaning and packing a few things. I look forward to getting to know everyone here for the next few wks, in our second phase of Navy life!
Hi all my son graduates A-school friday is suppose to go to Jacksonville Florida but has not got his hard copy of his orders so he will be stuck there in meridian till he does!!!Hope everyone is good
Kander~ How did you get your daughters address to ship clothes to her? My son just got there on saturday for A-school and I'm patiently awaiting an address on him there. I think he is so busy right now, he keeps forgetting to ask or find out for me..ugghh I know he was hoping for some shorts and t-shirts for this weekend, but I have no address to mail them to as of now.
kim SHIP 03/ DIV 233 , My daughter got it the day she arrived, Then she lost it. I eventually got it after a couple days of her being there.She packed her stuff before boot so all I had to do was mail it. I'm sure you'll get it soon.
So all you moms who have had SR's in Meridian for a while, when they get liberty on the weekends, what do they usually do for fun? How is the town itself outside of the base?
My son was graduated from Meridian about a month ago, he is also YN! The sailors went to Lazer Tag which was in the woods! To the mall! Out to eat! Oh and to New Orleans for a weekend!
My sailor said they just find stuff to do and of course they went to the movies. He was there in April until end of May and the weather kept changing! They have storms there then it's really hot and humid! I had to send him a jacket! Lol!
My sailor PIR and had 8 hours of liberty and was back on base by 7pm, and was packed and at the airport by 12:30 am the following morning. We met him at O'Hare at 3:00 am and went through security check so we could spend the next 7 1/2 hrs with him before his flight to Houston, then Meridian. 14 sailors were with him. The USO is awesome at O Hare!
My sailor graduated bootcamp today and will be flying out to mississippi tonight, I would like to know will he be able to stay off base if he doesn't have duty or watch ? I'm wanting to visit as soon as possible ! Thankx in advance
Ke'neisha: Each base has its own rules, but he will have to "phase up" before staying off the base overnight. That takes a good while. He will know about this once he goes through "Indoc" after arriving on the base. Since he will be able to stay in touch with you with phone/laptop once at A School, he can keep you posted! I do believe that you can visit him ON THE BASE relatively quickly, but off base takes longer.
Hello to everyone, my SR doesn't get to Meridian until beginning of Oct but I decided to go ahead and join your group. I hope to learn from everyone what to expect. He leave for BC 7/31; he will be an AZ.
Hi, My son's PIR is July 26th then off to Mississipi for A school. We are from Michigan. I'm new to all of this so any information I can get would be helpful
Hi ! My husband is going to mississipi for a school next month, but jst a question can i give to him his cellphone and his laptob at the airport, after the PIR ?
Yes, they can have cell phones and laptops during A-School. And, after they get their 'green dot' they can leave base on their days off. After boot camp, A-School seems like a walk in the park!
Does anyone know how the new Sailors are paired up in Mississippi? Do they room with one or more and with someone going over with them or with someone who is already in Mississippi?
does anyone know where I can get any information regarding Meridian Mississippi and about the school to send my son. Hear they like to read up on the area and see what to expect.
Hi, my daughter's PIR is Sept. 6 and then she will be heading to Mississippi for A school. We are new to all this so any information will be greatly appreciated.
Good morning! My daughter's PIR is 8/23 then she is headed for LS A School. She has asked for information but i'm not sure where to go. Can someone help me? She's wondering what to expect. Thanks.
My Son just graduated out of A school in Meridian. He is home on leave now before he reports to his first duty station. He enjoyed being in Meridian, he was also in a self paced class so he was able to come home much sooner then we expected. He said the weather is scorching hot down there..lots of snakes to look out for and big bugs, we are from up North, so that was all new to him. He was there with a few Sailors from his division out of boot camp, so that group hung out together most of the time, but he did make new friends also. They went to the movies, out to eat and made a lot of mall trips. They all pitched in for cabs when they were on leave. Good luck to all the new Sailors on their way to Meridian...Hooyah!
