she has A school in GL till Aug, then we think she will get a break before getting her orders - could be San Diego (great- a 2 hr ride) or Japan (great - i always wanted an excuse to go) or ??? . you know the NAVY!

great idea for the party!

Hi Denise - I got my DVD yesterday!  When our son is home from A school, we are going to have a party and show all our friends and family that could not be at PIR what they missed!  Our son has orders to be in Virginia in July.  Right now he is finishing up A school in GL.  How about your sailor?

Hello, All!!

I just back from Chicago late last night. It was such a fantastic experience. I will relate the pertinent details:

We stayed at the Residence Inn, which I very highly recommend. The rooms were clean and lovely, staff was helpful, free full breakfast, and free dinner thursday night for meet n greet. We also went to Sarges Meet N Greet, and it was lovely to see so many families we'd been talking to.  Sarge also does an informative powerpoint. 

We took a 7am shuttle and had we gone any later there'd be no seats in a decent area, and we were a small group, so getting there early was a big deal! The ceremony was great. I thought I would weep my little eyeballs out, but I didn't cry once. Strangely, as they entered, I felt like I was going to throw up, hahaha. I guess my nerves were really shot that day.

Hands down the best moment was when Liberty was announced and you see all the sailors hoot and holler and high five each other. It was SO exciting!

We went to a local place to eat- didn't try to take in any sights. He seemed more content to just be with us and I really wanted to focus on him, not seeing or experiencing anything else. I was really struck by the camaraderie. He would see some of his fellow sailors out and they were so happy to see each other. So much love there. :)

I have a few photos here:

Not a ton yet.

Thank you to every person on this board for being the reason I survived boot camp without being committed.
