    Hi Sherryg!

    Thanks for that heads up and for responding to my post :)

    Did you mean that your son had time off in the middle of officer training for Christmas? 
    If so, how would my son find out if that is the case this year?
    We live in the UK so it would be helpful to know in advance if possible to make arrangements to go out and see him. 

    By the way, my husband is a professor at  Business school in London and I was a teacher of psychology for over 20 years…we are also surprised about our son going into the US Navy and though we are very proud of him, this world is so alien to us and we have so many questions and worries.

    Thanks!
