My son is in Division 086 - SR Abate - do you have a son or daughter in the division? What A School are they headed to after PIR. We live in Florida and will be driving up from Floida for PIR.

Has anyone besides me booked a hotel? I got a room at the residence inn, it was cheaper to go straight to the site. Just curious.

I've been mostly hearing Navy Lodge, Ramada Inn and Days Inn. We're staying on base at the Gateway, because my other son is active AF. Freedom Hall is more than a mile away, so we'll still have to drive.

There's not too many of us in this group. Just wondering if there are enough of us to meet at Sarge's. If weather cooperates, I will rsvp there in another week or so,and I'm not crafty-but I got an xlarge white puffy parka, so just look for the polar bear mom. Just kidding- maybe a balloon. There is a lot of facebook discussion, but hardly any 085s and maybe one 086. Hmmm....

I'm here! I will be at Sarge's as well. Got a letter from my boy today. He says he's got this! Unless they throw him a "curve ball" he will graduate on February 1st and he can't wait to get out of there! Oh, and he wants to send me tips on "maximizing my drawer space". LMAO He says he has learned many things, and I can tell.

Yes, on the FB page -only 4 from Div 85 and 4 from Div 86 -my SR is in 86! I know that we are specifically getting together with one family on Wednesday and Thursday during the day but I figure no matter how many people are there from each division at Sarge's M&G -we will get some great information about a lot of things. Also don't forget even though there may not be a lot from our divisions -I also would like to meet others who are headed to the same A School -will be a whole other family to bond with! I am Mindy on FB page and my SR's dad is Mike A. on FB!

My son is also supposed to be staying in GL for ATT school - sonar tech. I'm hoping at Sarge's we will figure out how to make a group for our brother Div's at PIR. I am thinking we are one of the last groups on the right, if the 912 is in the middle, so we should look for each other a little short of far right so we can cheer them on together. I'll be with my son (my husband won't travel). We can figure this out at the M&G. Welcome, Lena! The location of the divisions is something I want to figure out. I will be pretty tired from 2 long flights and a long day, so hope to get there around 6 and pack it in kinda early. :)
