Hello, My son Andre just graduated on 10/31. He is going to school for FC at GL. I don't much details right now, he is just settling in. What usually comes next? I think he is coming home for Christmas, he says he has about 7 days for leave. He is to call me with his new address today. Will I need to make arrangements for his transportation? Help!! How does this all work? What comes next? Any information would really be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all, my name is Alicia, my son is Joshua Warden. He is presently in BC. His "A" school is in Great Lakes AE/CF. He is going for FC. If all goes well, he'll PIR 12/19/08. We received the 1st letter from him today. He has been in for 9 days. He was promoted to Master At Arms. I'm not quite sure what that entails? He said some of the guys don't like to listen but he's sticking to the program. I bet their doin alot of pushups....

Hi I'm Melinda My family and I live in North Carolina. Our daughter graduated college last year and has settled herself in Asheville NC. Devin entered DEP the day after he graduated and had his PIR on 10/31. He's in A school at GL for FC. He was very happy to get it, knows he is going to have to work hard and study. He's thinking about a career in the Navy. He wanted to serve in a different branch as his dad was Air Force and granddad was Army. I'm so very proud of him. I'm excited about N4ms, I found a ton of info that is so useful. Happy to meet you all.
