Dawn, we N4Moms veterans highly recommend Sarge's MeetandGreet. He is retired military, provides transportation for A School students and Navy families up for PIR, and is very knowledgeable with the area (restaurants, sightseeing suggestions, etc) as well. All of the MeetandGreets are family friendly so bring the kids! They provide food, and Sarge pays for this out of his own pocket each week...but he does accept donations! :-) So consider going to his. It is located about 4-5 miles from RTC, near Springhill Suites, Courtyard Inn, and Residence Inn (near WalMart shopping center). But everything in GL is relatively close so if you are staying at another hotel, no issues getting there. His is at the Sundance Saloon.

DebbieF im hanging in there. I have only gotten one letter so far and two phone calls but im happy he is hanging in there too.

Im gonna close for now just got done with pinning ceremony and imma hurting gonna rest cause i gotta get up early we have state testing tomorrow for our cna students. Good night and tell your son hello when you talk to him.

Well I'm pretty sad right now. I was at a football game last night and my son called home. :( I am no longer with his father and it was my new husband who answered the phone. He said my son said all is well. But of course I had to ask if he sounded disappointed I was not home and he said yes he did. :( Gah! Well no use in crying over spilt milk. And we lost the game. Anyone else get a call last night from DIV 056?

Oh hey Cristy I just noticed your comment, this page is hard to follow for me. Guess what??? Our sons are definitely friends! I saw you say Roll Tide and that means you are from Alabama??? My son told me his best friend is a guy name W***s from Alabama who is also going to Corpsman school! Is your son named W***s? Using asterisks in case that is your last name.
