Hi, my daughter is in Meridian for A school now. She will be coming home on the 28th. I can't wait to see her. She loves it there and is having a great time.
fredsmom...thanks for responding. Do they need to get their own transportation to the base? Or are they picked up like when they went to GL? Do you remember the cost involved? I know my SR wont have much cash on them so I would want to make sure they have enough to cover the cost.
The reason I asked is because you are allowed to meet them at the airport and O' Hare has beautiful USO's in their terminals! It is a great place to hang out with your sailor! It's like a resort free for military and their families
his PIR is 6/28. I am hoping to go to airport to give him a few of his personal things that he asked for. Laptop,phone, etc. all the important things in life.
Fredsmom, sorry for the late reply. Still getting used to using this site and plus trying to use from my phone not to fun. But he is E1 - I think, I'm still getting used to the Navy Verbiage.
Also, any Navy Mom's I purchased a Navy shirt and they continued to send me the wrong shirt, anyone interested? Color creme and says Proud Navy Mom, I never wore them, i have 2 of them. No charge, just wans to give to someone who will wear it.
Mandy - my son is leaving on the 29th too! He is coming home to California for a few weeks before going to VA to his first duty stations! When did your sailor graduate from boot camp? I bet they know each other! :)
Hi Freds Mom, his name is Ruiz. Well he may not be leaving on the 29th after all, they said he was suppose to turn in some paperwork, but he didn't know till today so now he is leaving June 10. I wonder if there is anything he can do. We made so many arrangements for his coming home. So disappointed. Anybody have any ideas?
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!
