Valerie,

That's cute that your SR would score the 5 for a candy bar!!  Whatever motivates them, ehhh??! 

Your SRs' moods will go up and down during Boot Camp, just like all of you, but it will get better and better!

So encouraging, Valerie.  So happy for you and your SR!

Good Morning!

You never know, Reana.  Some will get to call from Bootcamp, but not all.  So hope you are one of the lucky ones!

Merry Christmas!

Copy/pasted this from Bootcamp Moms. Hope some of you see your SRs in these piks!

There are over 600 of them.  I hope you all get a glimpse of your SR. What a great gift to wake up to Christmas morning!

                               MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Congrats Mrsjeni!

I woke up this morning and went through the pictures twice.  My son wasn't in any pictures but we just got a Merry Christmas call.  Keep your phones near just in case :)

Coachjb, not sure how many of the recruits they got, but it does look like they tried to get as many as they could.

I went through all of the RTC photos, and couldn't find one of my SR, so here is one I took of her and her brother at his PIR two years ago.  He is now a Petty Officer 2nd class and is home today.  I'm a lucky mom.

StrongLady,

If your SR will be flying out to A school, you can stay at the Navy Lodge, which is about $66/$71 a room--very clean!  (If your SR has A school at Great Lakes, the Navy seems to be not allowing them to visit their families in their rooms.

The other recommended hotels are Residence Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Springhill Suites, and Courtyard Marriot, all in the Waukegan/Gurnee area, about 10 mins from Recruit Training Command (RTC).  Sarge's Meet & Greet, a Super Walmart, and various eating places are all in this same area~

Yes. Navy Lodge has been very iffy lately with those sailors staying in GL for A School.    Sometimes they are allowed to visit families in Navy Lodge, sometimes not.  We just want all who have sailors staying in GL for A School to be aware of this possibility.  You will not know until after PIR when your sailors move over there and tell you if they can visit you at Navy Lodge.  It doesn't seem to happen at every PIR....just sometimes.  Seems that those flying out do not have a problem visiting families in Navy Lodge....they are still under the authority of RTC, not GL A School.

Good Morning!

Happy Friday!

     "For God so loved the world that He

      gave His only begotten Son, that

      whosoever believeth in Him shall not

      perish, but have everlasting life."

                                               John 3:16

Good Morning!

Hello All!

     "My words are plain to anyone with understanding,

      clear to those with knowledge."

                                                              Proverbs 8:9

Here you go, Q'smomKim:

coachjb:  If moving over to GL for A School, they do this right after PIR is over, takes a few hours, and then they have Liberty with you until later that night, and Daytime Liberty with you Sat and Sun as well.

If flying out, they most likely will be flying out the day after PIR, bussed late that night to the airports.  You can meet them there and visit with them, bring ID and you can get an airlines gate pass to wait until departure.  They won't know their flights until right before PIR.

*bussed late that night meaning PIR night

You are very welcome, Q'smomKim!

Good Morning!

When my son flew out to A school we met him at 6 am at the airport in order to get gate pass.  There was a rule that you had to have your sailor with you inorder to get one, but I don't know if that is still an issue.  I'm still planning on getting there at dark thirty just to be safe.  I miss my girl.

I also got a call this morning.  She earned 50 out of 50 on her test, so she could call us for 15 minutes.  She sounds happy and healthy.  Just tired.

Where you go to A School depends on what job you are going into.  What is your SR's job, Coachjb?
