We still have not gotten a letter or phone call from Jason but he was not much on writting so we are not to worried yet but hopefully today they get time to write or call. The adopt a sailor program is very nice and if they go out it will be a nice change for them please let us know for DIV 052 as Jason is in this one. The other we may think is if he had his wisdom teeth pulled he may not be up to speed to write just yet. Kepp us informed and it will help us all, thanks to everyone.

By the sounds of what others parents have been saying, I am assuming it should arrive this week. It sounds like PIR 12/24 just got theirs this week. Did you get yours already?

Have any parents with recruits graduating on 02 Jan received the graduation packet from the Navy that confirms the 02 Jan PIR date? Glen

my son is in Div. 051 I wonder how I can find out if anyone is doing anythng for them for Christmas. I got another letter and he said some in his division have not been too cooperative so they have had to do more intense PT. He said he keeps doing as told trying to get thru ..... Hope he can call soon.

Oh Paula: What a smart cookie you are to check on your Division. That is wonderful to know that organizations around GL are willing to give our Recruits at list some hint of a Holiday Celebration. For all of you with sons/daughters in Division 052 I am going to call on Monday and check on our Division. Will keep you posted.

heres some more fodder for you all...about what our kids will be doing for christmas... I spoke with GL this past friday and was informed that Division 054 (PIR 01/02/09) has been adopted out for Christmas. She said it would be either a local Church or VFW that they go to. They will be fed and have access to phones. Hope this helps.

Hi all, my daughter arrived nov 5th and is in div 054. I've recieved the 10.5 second call the night of arrival and the form letter as well as the box and two written letters so far. Now just hoping for a real phone call eventually.

Things to do and stay in Chicago well use your search engine and type in Navy bootcamp hotels and look around what comes back. Look over previous posts from the bootcamp group and it has some info from time to time. The flights may be interesting to get during this time frame so be aware of this. Another option is to fly into St louis or Indy and rent a car or train it up from St louis or down from Milwaukee if the weather is not good. Sometimes they actually are much cheaper into one of these cities and this is with a car. Things to do, well you must stay within 50 miles as they usually have to go back by 2100 or 9 pm ubless they have duty which may be anytime during their weekend. There was metion that they would be getting leave or vacation but this will not be confirmed till they tell us in their letters or the grad packet so do not bank on this. Gurnee Mills mall is close as is several places in Chicago to go to. A clear day the sears tower would be very nice. I hope this helps some.
Again welcome and good to talk with you all.

we are flying from upstate NY we are considering flying in on 12/31 because I stress about the weather and would hate to have flight delayed or cancelled. We thought about staying at a Holiday Inn in Chicago the 1st night and then closer to the base the day before graduation. The next thing will be to learn what to do with our son on Liberty (places to go etc)
