Hello to all ship 12 div 397 mom's/g/f's & fiances. U all have been quite a blessing! Now that I am figuring out how to navigate my way around the site and all. It's nice to kno that my SR is around what appears to be a pretty good group. His initials are JM & his A school is in Pensacola (Aviation Structural Mechanic) so obviously wud like 2 kno if any of your SR's mite actually know of him. He mentioned 2 SR's that he apparently hangs out with - 1 is Hawaiian & the other is Persian. He has been able 2 call & get thru 2 his g/f & admittedly she's been real good at keepin me informed. He told her that he is a Stick 1. I've only rec'd 1 letter to date but he has said that being there has opened his eyes to alot.
Suppose this sounds quite crazy but wud appreciate any suggestions in how 2 hook-up w/our SR at PIR u kno after the ceremony is over. 11 div w/approx 88 SR's + RDC & staff - that's alot of people w/o havin cell phones (LOL) thanks :)

Anybody know how long liberty is for after graduation? Is it only 1 day or the whole weekend?
-
-

Can only share what I've read - appears it depends on where yr SR's A school is. SR reporting to A school @ GL may have 2 rpt after graduation 1st b4 being granted liberty. My son's A school is @ Pensacola so I'm under the impression that his liberty can last between 7 (1900) & no later than 9 (2100) but that it'll take him at least 1/2 hour 2 get bk to his ship. Unfortunately we may not really know specifics til closer 2 PIR if not on graduation day bcuz of scheduled departure dates & times 2 A school.

My nephew graduated in April and he only got to spend about 6 hrs. with his parents. He went to Connecticut. My son will be going to Pensacola for A-school. Initials K.C. He is also petty mail officer for our division.

What is KC's rate? as my SR (JM - stick 1 last I heard) is also going to Pensacola 4 A school for Aviation Structural Mechanic. I haven't gotten the opportunity 2 speak w/him as I have encouraged that he learn 2 communicate w/his g/f. She's been real good at letting me kno when she's talked 2 him. As best that I cud understand from her conversation w/my SR there may b a delay in leaving GL 4 A school. Has KC mentioned anything about this?

I don't really know what his rate is. He is going to Pensacola for aviation electronics tech. He has said nothing about a delay. He said he would probably leave out Saturday. I forget everything I want to ask when we are on the phone, the calls are too short and he wants to talk so I mostly listen. He doesn't write much, hoping to get a letter soon answering some of my questions.

I haven't actually had the opportunity 2 speak 2 my SR as he has called his g/f but then I don't blame him as I am not as att'd 2 my cell phone as their generation appears 2 b. Desi has also said that when he has called he does most of the talking so I do understand. She even said that shud he call her again she wud try & 3-way. Aviation Electronics Tech - sounds pretty interesting & that is KC's rate. If there's 1 thing that I've realized dealing w/the military it tends 2 b a hurry up & wait kind of situation as well as so many unknowns from time 2 time. It was my understanding that those shippin out to A school usually do leave the day after graduation.

Good afternoon! What does it mean when our division gets no flags? Is this crucial?
-
-
-
Amani being prior military I can only say that certain flag privileges r earned & 4 SR's its more a matter of pride 2 b able 2 carry the flags that they earned 4 the recognition of doing at that it took 2 get them.
