Ruth, I have a question about Liberty. Can the days for liberty and holidays be combined? For instance, my son says he has 4 days of liberty starting today through Monday, then has to show up for muster on Tuesday, then he has 4 days holiday? Just wondering why he would have to show up for muster on Tuesday instead of combining all the days for a long holiday?

Chon's Mom, lots of stuff can be happening...remember this is the Navy and all plans are subject (no probably will) to change. There is a difference between "liberty" and "leave". Liberty are days that you are off and are not charged against you..like not using your vacation days at work. Leave are like "vacation days" and they do not co-incide them with Holidays..ie..7 leave days and 1 liberty day equals 8 days off. You might find his C-School starts sooner than expected so he wouldn't be able to have the total 10 days off...there are so many possibilities. You are the victim of the word "patience" now and all you can do is wait to find out the details. My son ended up waiting until after his C-School to get time off...and that is still tentative until the day he graduates FMTB. Hopefully you will hear from your son soon...but make sure he takes up Angie's offer, especially since it is the day after Thanksgiving...two days to pig out! Good luck.

My daughter isn't coming home for Thanksgiving either. She is driving to Philly to be with her boyfriend's family. They are going to drive home at Christmas so I'll have a week with her and the BF then. I'm working on Thanksgiving, so I can't help this year... next year my house is open!

I dont know about in the other groups but I do know that if he ends up in Washington theres been a few moms who have offered their home for Thanksgiving. I know thats not the same but its better than nothing.
When my son was supposed to get time off after he got back from Iraq he didnt find out it had been oked until monday and his plane tickets were for tuesday. Anything can still happen.

First... where is Chon??? We need to find him a place to have Thanksgiving. Where is his school? Where is he headed after A school?

Need help. My son just found out today that he will not be coming home for Thanksgiving. He graduates A-school tommorrow and was supposed to have 10 days liberty before going to next assignment. All he was told was that he and 2 other HM's are "on hold". He is upset and down because he passed on the Labor Day liberty to have more time at Thanksgiving. Does anyone know what could be keeping him "on hold"? and for how long? Thanks for any responses.

If you sent it to Susan, she'll just accept you as a friend, then you'll know she got your info.
No worries...she is a busy lady.
Just check in here every so often and see if you can lend a hand.
I'll call on you if I need help...you are the mom of superman, after all !
Glad to have you.
