My son was on delayed entry so I don't know if they were at the same swearing in. Glad to meet someone here in town. We will need to compare notes since they both should have the same PIR date.

Absolutely!!! I would not miss it for anything. I'm kind of scared of the weather up there, but I guess I'll survive. Are you going also?

YEY!!!! I'm so glad you got your letter! Isn't is just a relief! I AM HAPPY FOR YOU! I am also waiting on the letters coming in, just as everyone else here is. I felt as though our division was either really busy or struggling... I'm happy they have been busy!

They are survivors... That's why they are doing what they are doing. I'm glad you had news and I had news! Keep in touch!

Do you have a website to the hotel that you're staying in? I'm trying to get the cheapest hotel and closest to the base.

What a great letter!! I'm glad you heard from him again! Next time you write, ask him if he knows "California". That's Chris, my son. and his new Bootcamp issued nickname. I can't wait hear from him again!!

Hi! Welcome to Texas' Moms! I just want to let you (and your PIR group) know something that I wished I had known three years ago.

FEBRUARY 21 is President's Day (the Monday following your PIR)!! This is a FEDERAL Holiday! My son got liberty that day three years ago! I would make plans according to this - or at least ask him! I had to pay extra to stay over. There was NO WAY I was going to turn my son down when he asked me to stay!

Reading some of your posts - corpsmen go to A school in Great Lakes!

Cheapest hotel closest to base - the Navy Lodge!

Hey waiting. He needs to fill out a Live Ashore packet for either on or off base... I don't know if he can do it until indoc after pass in review. It all depends on if his orders are accompanied or not. If they're not, I heard the chances of his live ashore getting approved are zero... See if there's a group on here for his job. That's where I'm getting most of my questions answered about A school. Good luck.

No worries. Indoctrination happens the first week of A school, from what I understand from the discussion board. He has to request the paperwork for either on or off base housing and it is called a "Live Ashore" packet or chit. If it's off base, he has to submit a dummy lease with it. If the Navy is going to move you, he also has to attend a briefing before the move. This is all stuff I've picked up on the AECF wives section, so I'm not the primary source, but they are women that are living with their husbands during A school right now. :) Good luck. I hope that helps. I know how frustrating it is when no one answers your questions.
