Well, thanks for that information! I too was SOOO looking forward to having some time with him. Oh well. I heard, however, that we can go to the airpoprt (if we find out when and where they're leaving from) and we can hang out with them there. That's better than nothing! I'm not entirely sure, but I think we can also give them their cell phones and laptops. But I woudl double check that.
Hi - I saw your post regarding San Antonio. Well, my son is also going to corpsman school, he origianlly said he was staying in GL, but just yesterday I received a letter indicating SA.....I'm just a little bummed because I was hoping to spend some time with him. Oh well....
Hey! You need to delete the post on the PIR board that has your SR's last name. No last names allowed on the board...Navy policy. I have asked the other lady who replied to it and used your last name to delete hers also! Thanks! Don't want your SR to have attention drawn to him.
