For anyone who is interested, there is now a Facebook Page specifically for Logistic Specialist Navy Families....just type the name in the search box at the top of your FB page and it will come up. It is for chit chat, news, photos, questions and answers etc etc and general information. :)
@navymom17 it's only suppose to be about 5 to 6 weeks. My boyfriend is almost done, but he had to wait 3 weeks before he could even start class, some of his other classmates waited a month or longer.
My son was there exactly 2 months. They are in TPU until classes start, yoeman school is about 5 weeks, then TPU until they get there orders. One of my sons fellow bootcamp/A school shipmate was there in TPU a month after A school was over because he had to stay until he got his orders for his first duty station.
Just wondering if my sailor will need a computer for A School. He doesn't have one currently, our school district provided them during high school and if he did he would have to purchase it there or I would have to purchase it and send it. Just not sure what he would need. Any ideas?
@pa mom- my sailor says not everyone has a computer there, he has his there and just uses it to go online and when he has down time, not for class. If he wants to buy one, they have computers at the nex on base. It's a little cheaper there, too.
If there are new moms on here or if someone missed the other post - there is now a facebook group for LS family members to chat, share, ask and answer questions, etc. It's a closed group so you will have to request to join but we will get you on as soon as we verify that you're not the enemy (lol). We want to ensure the safety of our SR's/Sailors!! Everybody's names on here are so different than the names on facebook so we may not recognize you right away. We usually ask a question or two but please know that it's for the safety of loved ones serving their country! We do follow OPSEC rules on that page as well! Hope to see you there! Have a good day!
If you have requested to join the LS Navy family page (or plan to in the future) please check your "other" messages. We are waiting on replies from a few people. Thank you!
Momma TS - on facebook. Over on the left if you click on messages it will open up a box - up at the top it says "Inbox" and beside it is "other". If you will pm me on here and tell me who you are on facebook we can work this out. Thanks.
Navymom17- they usually have them fly out on Saturday after PIR. You will get all the information from your sailor at PIR. After PIR you will have about 8 hrs to spend with your sailor before he/she has to back at barracks and then all of the sailors leave and get to the airport around 12am. You can meet them there and stay with them until their plane leaves. O'Hare has 2 USO buildings for military and their families.
my son will be attending school In Meridian. He is still in booth camp. it is little hard for him .he will pass booth camp I will be happy when he finish booth camp.
Hello Ladies - Does anyone know if there is a Logistics A School as well in Missouri? We were initially told our sailor would be attending A School in Missouri for LS. Perhaps they were mistaken? Thanks and God Bless our Sailors.
Hi, Sorry, I think I accepted and unfriended too., But sent another friend request back to you. I feel like I'm having trouble navigating this NavyforMoms thing sometimes. I get a Msg here and maybe I answer that person someplace else. Yikes! So much info and lots to read!
Thanks for the welcome. My son has a PIR date of 11/15 so he has a while until he arrives in Meridian.
Hey all. I have a sailor that will be graduating from A school in Meridian and is being stationed in Hawaii. I cant seem to get a straight answer on how rerouting his plane ticket works if he is going to come home for leave before reporting to Hawaii. Do you know it that is covered by the Navy or if it comes from our pockets? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
@caseface416 - he has to reroute his ticket out of his own pocket. They navy will only pay for his ticket to his duty station, not the rerouting. Usually the day of graduation or the day he is suppose to leave they will have him call the airlines and they will work with him on the best price for him to reroute his ticket. And so if he goes home, he has to pay for his ticket to Hawaii out of his pocket as well.
hello all, I am a bit new here and am looking forward to update you all on my time in bootcamp and A school in Meridian,MS. I am leaving for BC the first week of December and I am going as PS. I am very excited to be going. I would love any advice you all have to offer and support. This is one of the best sites that i came across and i wish all of your sailors/future sailors the best. Thank You all :-)
Trying to go visit my sailor over the Columbus day weekend next weekend, but it seems that it is not the easiest for him to get this approved. He is an AZ. Has anyone else had this problem or was able to be able to get some time to visit recently?
my son is yn in meridian. School has not started yet, We want to visit at thanksgiving, just wondering if anyone knows how it works, I assume if he has liberty we just pick him up till he has to return??????
@caseface416- first of all where is home? My sailor was in A school in meridian and his first duty station was in VA, the navy rerouted his ticket from Meridian to California (home) to VA (duty station) and he just had to pay the difference which was about $400. And I believe it cost more because we live on the west coast and his duty station was on the east coast. Hope this helps. :)
@fredsmom Thanks for the info. He is stationed in Meridian now and home would be Tampa, fl..then on to Honolulu! I have a feeling it might be quite pricey, but we will have to wait and see. He might just opt to come home for one of the holidays if possible and skip the week home after A school.

If our sailors can come home for Thanksgiving, does the airlines offer discounts for military? He would be traveling from there to PA was trying for Latrobe airport its cheeper. How do we or our sailors take care of travel plans. Also when is shut down?
