My daughter leave Oct 6th and I've been getting super emotional. This is my second go-round. I have a son in Nuke School. His PIR was back in June.

If I sit and think about her leaving or talk to someone about it, I get emotional. I also hold onto the hugs a little longer. I have been very busy with school the last couple weeks, so that keeps my mind off her leaving, which helps.

I was ok until this week, then talking to friends at work with children in service who have been there and understand I get very emotional.

Hi,
My son is leaving for MEPS in Jacksonville, FL on the 6th and will be sworn in and leave for BC on the 7th. I am also looking for someone to share all of these mixed emotions with! Proud and sad at the same time. Knowing that I am going to miss him terribly! I'm not clear on the lingo yet, but his PIR should be in the middle of December. Does anyone know if they allow them to take leave for the holidays? I had one recruiter tell me yes, and one told me no.

Joshual'sMom, your then Sailor MAY be able to have leave for some of the holiday stand down at the "A" Schools. Some commands allow new Sailors to go in the hole on Leave for that and some don't.
You can check in the group/s for his rating. What is his rating (job/specialty) going to be?

lemonelephant, thank you for your reply. His rating is going to be ACEF...Advanced Computer and Electronics Field.

Joshua's Mom, I left info on AECF on your My Page. Yes, Those staying in GL usually do get to have Leave for part of the holiday stand down.

My son left today 10/05/15 for MEPS from Atlanta, GA. He will be sworn and leaving for BC tomorrow 10/06/15. My emotions are all over the place. I'm excited for him. But I'm also emotional because my first born is leaving the nest and it's time to let him fly.

My daughter is leaving on the 13th, which is my husbands and my anniversary and it is also 3 days before her 20th birthday. I am excited for her but I know it's going to be so hard to have her gone.
Is there anyone else with a daughter or son leaving on the 13th?
