Hi Alli- My son has been at hm school for only 2 weeks now. He just got good info yesterday. So I hope they give that info to your son today. Believe me, it is confusing. I'm glad we have each other to share with:):)

Good Morning Everyone, I am a newbie to this group. Our Sailor just moved over to Corpsman A School yesterday. We are very confused about travel for the Holiday, but he said he was going to try and get some better info today. Look forward to getting to know all of you.

I have Steven's airline ticket booked! Such a relief! I will tell him to wear his uniform on his flight, I believe he was going to wear his uniform anyways, he's so used to wearing them and really likes the nwu's(?) Air Force calls them BDU's. Still trying to learn the Navy lingo. I'm sure I'll have it all down by the time he comes home though. He quizzes me about the ranks when we talk to each other. I feel like I'm counting down to PIR again... but this time it's for two weeks with our Sailor.

I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving, we have alot to be thankful for, thanks to our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and other loved ones in the military. May God Bless each and every one of them this holiday season!

Thanks for the info Gloria. I was beginning to get concerned with all the info. I know my son said he should be at the airport by about 6 or 6:30 if weather permitted but to not book the flight before 10. I didn't ask what time his shuttle leaves. I just booked the flight and gave him the times and he took care of the shuttle. i told him to wear his uniform because they may get preferred treatment if slots were available.

FYI - My son did not have 2-3 hr check ins. Going to airport couldbe 2-3 hrs depending on time of day, weather etc. If they are in uniform they get primo service - my son along with his classmates have been whisked through security many times over. No uniform - now that is another thing - they do have to show their ID so hopefully what will help. I had boys who had later flights and next day with me and the airport was so accomodating to change them to the current flight and not charge for change. All the airlines are pretty good on treating the Sailors well. On Southwest - they put my son on first and when landed everyone had to sit and wait for him to get off - they all clapped for him - he ate it up. On American Airlines they have first class and my son hasbeen put in those seats - given menus - wine list and the best breakfast he ever had (lol). He said he def cd get used to first class.

I was frustrated enough to call the shuttle service again. This is what I found out. HM side shuttle will leave at 5:45am, this is the only shuttle for HM side. Sailors will be woke up at 2-2:30am and will be checked out of their rooms at 3:30am. Do not schedule flights before 10am. The shuttle will take 60-90 minutes to drive to the airport, depending on which airport they go to. Plus another 2-3 hours for check-in and security check at airport. So plan airline tickets accordingly. There is a USO at Ohare that the sailors can hang out if they have several hours to wait until their flight. I hope this helps, it did me. Now I have to purchase a round trip ticket.

I called yesterday and no, I didn't ask about the different sides. I'm almost to the point to just drive 8 hours up there and pick him up myself and just fly him home! Just so frustrating.

Good Morning Ladies - I'm new to this group. My son is currently in HM A-school waiting to class up, maybe tomorrow. I am so confused on holiday leave and so is he. I think he's getting wrong info, cuz some of it makes no sense. For instance, the shuttle service. He was told there was only one shuttle for hm side and it leaves at 0545 but they don't get released until 0600??? He was also told there were more shuttles for the tech side but he can't use them???
mom4sons - When you called, did they specify the shuttles for specific sides?
mom4sons (Proud Sailor Mom) Comment by mom4sons (Proud Sailor Mom) 1 day ago
Well, I called the shuttle service and they have three shuttles leaving the base on Dec 18....4:30am, 7:30am and 9:30am. I was going to book a 10:10am flight and he would have to take the 4:30am shuttle to make sure he got to Ohare on time. But hearing about the 5:30am inspection, I don't think I'll be doing that quite yet. I'll have to play another game of "texting after 4pm". Tickets at the ITT is more expensive, they charge a $24 booking fee.
