That is a good trade off! We don't get to come up for Christmas, so we're taking the extra calls as a blessing.
Does anyone know if they are able to call on Christmas Day?

Everything that I have seen from the Thanksgiving adopt a sailor looks like they are allowed to call.

Hey ya'll. My mother-in-law and I are looking into a rental car for the PIR. Does anyone know the policies regarding rental cars to get onto the base? What do we need other than the gate pass for this? Insurance, or the contract with the company?

Good morning all - http://bootcamp.navy.mil/fam_guide.asp Jessica I have found this to be helpful to answer some questions and it seems as long as you have a drivers liscense, registration and proof of insurance you should be ok to get onto base....now Kimberlydale...they started November 2nd but they were delayed for two weeks that is a tricky question...I am counting the days till I see him but the day they are on hmmmmm....Brrrrrr cold here in Long Island NY...I can say its probably chilly elsewhere too...hope everyone is well and fa la la la la....ughhhh!!! lol

Happy late Monday! (It's 9 at night here!) It's chilly here, as I'm sure it is everywhere!
I looked through the guide and it said what everything else has said, that we need a DL, proof of registration and insurance, so I called the base and they stated that the insurance and registration is given to us when we rent the car. (I have never rented a car before so I didn't know.)
That tree sounds awesome.
24 more days till PIR!

Hello Moms! I just found this site--ridiculous of me to not find it sooner. We've only gotten 3 letters and the one phone call he made happened when I was at work. Therefore the last time I heard his voice was the day he got into his recruiter's car to head to MEPS. We were in the middle of the big Connecticut power outage the week he left so we couldn't get either his "I'm here", or "Im alive" phonecalls. It's killing me. Any info about how the division is doing would be greatly appreciated. Thankfully I'm flying out to GL to spend Christmas with my son and an "adopted" fellow recruit. I can't wait!

Thats ok Suki better late than never plus this is a great group to be a part of so welcome aboard! As far as i know they're doing well and if you haven't heard anything as far as the navy is concerned no news is good news so just hang in there. The most important thing i've taken out of all this is to make sure to write to them every single day even though u have nothing new to say, say just that "baby i have nothing new to say how about you?" sometimes i'll talk about gossip, tv shows, news whatever comes to mind. Just make sure you write cause even though i write to my daughter every day, she doesnt get it every day which according to her it sucks but when she does its awsome because she gets 4-5 of them all at once! Hang in there and keep chugging along we're all in this together :-)

Thanks Miriam! One of us does write just about every day. Plus, Trey has missed his Dad's birthday, Thanksgiving, his own birthday, and will miss Christmas, his brother's birthday and New Years. We're sending him cards for all of these events...plus, the local elementary school (110 students total k-8) has a letter writing campaign going. This is one of those times when I LOVE livingin a small town!
