My SR is ship12 Div 029 with PIR 11/30 because their PIR is so close to Thanksgiving they are being allowed liberty for Thanksgiving. If they have sponsors to sign them out and they are allowed to take one other SR with them. That is what the forms are for signing up to sponsor your SR and adopting an other SR. That is what I understand from the earlier conversations.

Received 1st hand written letter from my SR. It was an awesome read. He is doing fine. He has recieved my letter as he commented to me to take his car out for a drive and not to sell it. (hmmmm). He likes being fed 3 meals a day and forced to sleep 8 hours. Must be nice :) Seriously, I am glad his doing well and overcame some of the obvious obstacles we (parents) were expecting. He says he is always folding clothes and remaking his bed.. the quarter must not bounce off high enough to pass the first time. :) Finally he says he has made new friends and the days are flying by.

Hi: My son is a bubblehead...ship 12 div 30. PIR Nov 30
I have a few questions. What date is meet & greet? Is that with your sailor? What if his best friend is going to a different one? What if you're staying at Navy Lodge? We plan on arriving late Thursday night, and staying all day Friday and just driving back to Detroit late Friday. Do they have liberty all weekend?
We have 3 little kids coming with us for PIR...It says arrive 2 hrs early...do we just sit? Is there a cafeteria? Just trying to picture what to do with the 7, 5, and 3 yr old while we wait (I guess it'll be a lot like the high-school graduation? Huge and hard to see your loved one?

Does anyone know how long we get to spend with them after PIR? Is it the whole weekend?

I understand that depends on where your SR is going for A school. If they are staying at GL I understand you may have the whole weekend, although they have to return to their ship each night. If the SR is flying they tend to leave on Saturday.

My boyfriend is in ship 12 division 030. I just got my first letter yesterday and am very excited for that first call. He said it could be soon so I make sure to have my phone by my side. My sailor will be attending A school in Connecticut and will be on a sub. Does anybody else have a sailor going to A school there??

Glad you got a letter :)
