@ Colby''sproudmom - I'm not sure what the deal is for Thanksgiving. We had thought our son would be finishing A school and home for his two weeks just in time for Thanksgiving but now my son is telling me he may be done sooner, if thats the case he will probably miss both Thanksgiving & Christmas. So only time will tell for sure.
Browns57. Thanks for the information. Boy, we are going to have to get to the airport early. Do you remember what time you got there?
Does your son like logistics? Where is home for you? Our grandson is from Murfreesboro, TN (outside of Nashville) and we live in Kerrville, TX (an hour west of San Antonio).
@ Colby'sproudmom If he has phased up to a green dot then he can have off base liberty as well as over night liberty he just has to get his CHIT in and your golden. I love A school so much more contact which is wonderful, enjoy PIR it's great but I hear its getting chilly up there.
@ Carolee There are several schools on the base there in Meridian they have a neat little website you can check out if you just Google it. I didn't realize you were a fellow Texan...we are from Amarillo. My son is in Yoeman school there in MS his is a little longer than some as he is designated to a submarine so he will be there a few more weeks.
@ browns57 Don't give up hope for the holidays just yet as we all have learned anything is subject to change in the military and he could get to go ahead to his duty station and miss Thanksgiving but get his CHIT in for Christmas. Never give up hope.
Sorry I have not posted in a while.... We've been really busy and then I got sick too boot!
sbarber and browns57, my son decided to keep the blu-ray disk player. And, of course, my hubby sent him the video game system as well. LOL... I don't think my son has given a lot of thought as to how he will get all of this back home. Guess he'll cross that bridge when he gets to it. LOL... :-)
@ Christa (Proud Navy Mom) : Glad your feeling better. Well my son called last night and ask how to cook shrimp on the grill so I'm guessing the chow hall wasn't looking to good yesterday LOL. I bet yor son's room is a popular one TV, DVD and the Xbox that's too funny.
@ Colby'sproudmom: Wow what a small world huh. There are just a couple of us from Amarillo on here and we have coffee once in awhile and chit chat, we went to Tx Roadhouse a few weeks ago for the America Supports you Texas fund raiser. Hope your son enjoy's MS and I know you are looking forward to PIR its a great experience. Let us know how it goes and if you'd like to join our little group send me a friend request and I'll keep you posted.
@ Christa - Glad to hear you are back to feeling better, I guess getting all that stuff home or where ever will now be our Sailor's problem and on their dime!
Thank you for the warm welcome. My son called last night. It is always like Christmas when he calla. I really didn't think I'd miss him so much. But I would not change a thing. 'This too shall pass.' hmm.
@ Carolee: Congrats we all can see just how proud you are of him and rightfully so. He will enjoy his time in Meridian especially after where he's been LOL the bus ride from Jackson to Meridian is a beast from what I hear since they are exhausted anyway.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and stays warm. It snowed here today officially 3.1 inches where we live almost 5. BURRR!!!!!!!
@Carolee: We are form Amarillo. I bet your super excited this morning waiting on your grandson to PIR so you can talk to him. Tell him Congrats from us fellow Navy moms and tell him to enjoy the day.
@ 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.

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.
