I got a call from my daughter at work around 4:50! She is division 019. I'm not supposed to take calls at work so I had to run to the ladies room LOL. She sounded great. Only wants me to bring her cellphone to graduation.Says the Navy has given them so much stuff she can't fit another thing.

Hey all, my son is Div 020 and is staying at Great Lakes for A School. Some of your loved ones are too. Anybody know what to expect over the holiday weekend if your loved one is staying at Great Lakes for A School? If we get a hotel in the area through Sunday, will we be able to see our son Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Also, somebody mentioned a meet-n-greet on the 25th? This is the first I've heard of it. What's that all about?

I'm not sure about staying at Great Lakes for A school and what that means for graduation weekend but for the Meet and Greet, go to the Events tab and scroll to the bottom. There is a link for the 11/25 where you can RSVP if you want to go. From what I understand it's very informative about what to expect the next day and what our recruits have been thru for the last nine weeks. I know you posted that in Monday so maybe you already got your answer but I didn't see any replies so hope that might help a little. -

InquiringMind: You may have had this answered already, but for those sailors staying in GL for A School.....they will move over there as a group shortly after PIR is over....then you pick them up there (takes a few hours to move) and have until about 9 or 10 that night with them (your sailor will know). They have to return to base at night. BUT....the even better news is that you will then have Thanksgiving Day, Friday, Sat. and Sun. with your sailor! Again, returning to base each night but lots of time!
Please be sure to bring questions like this to the main PIR page where we N4Moms veterans can see them. We don't have time to regularly check the division groups so we miss questions there....we are on anywhere from 6-8 PIR groups at a time so there just isn't time!
For those with sailors flying out, they most likely will fly out on Friday, possibly Sat., so families will have Wed after PIR and Thanksgiving Day with them (returning to base at night). Then airports visits with them on Friday.

If any of you know when your divisions are doing BattleStations, can you friend request that info to me? We can't post it here, but can friend request/private message it. I don't have to accept the friend request to see the info if you do it that way....just add it to the friend request before sending. Thanks! I have a good idea when they go, but need confirmation. Thanks!
