Cindy, That is cool that you are able to be the "family" for your daughter's friend.
Kerri, It is hard to see them blow their money but I am trying to let him alone to be an "adult". It was really hard when he waited till the last minute to get h...
Hi everyone. Good to hear of kids coming home for Christmas. Mine is due home Dec. 19th for 2 weeks. He is counting the days down. He is almost done with his AA degree. He is in NATTC and is A2E. After break he will start his A school for air traf...
Pam-that would be nice. I think they deserve a break!!! Thats just my feelings. My daughter is bringing home a friend (guy) he'll be staying with us. His dad is in the Navy and is deployed to Afganitstan. He has seen quite a bit of the world alrea...
Cindy,
I read somewhere that if they wear their uniforms when they check in at the airport that some of the airlines won't make them pay for their checked baggage.
Ouch is right. Its exspensive. Plus the ticket to get to the airport, then probably paying for luggage on the flight and then money to get back when they get home...its not cheap...but sure happy that'll they'll be home... and my daughter will tur...
Jake finally got his airline tickets! He is really coming home for Christmas! I can't wait.
Brenda, I am glad you get to go to San Diego for Christmas. Have a great visit with Colin and have a great Holiday!
Pam i sure hope he buys those tickets and comes home to see the family. School of hard knocks nobody likes that :( You know they (Navy) gave financial courses and advice ....right!!? I hope you get good news :)
Brenda-Yea....you are going to San D...
Valerie,
What usually happens after PIR is that the sailors get moved over to the Enterprise on the Training side and they attend the INDOC (gives them basic info on the rules and expectations of that side, plus some financial information) and the...
Valerie, There have been many long holds for both ET and FC. When was your daughter's PIR? My son's PIR was August 28 and he is currently in ATT and is expecting to finish somewhere around Dec. 10th and then be on hold for A school. Some of the yo...
mom4sons, My son and his buddies go in on the taxi fare. When they first got their liberty they went to the mall all of the time. He goes less frequently now. He went into Chicago for the first time on Halloween and then again last weekend for one...
Maria, I too, have been watching the fares for the airline tickets. My son is booking his own flight and has not done so yet. He is paying for it, and I think he has been spending his $$ as fast as he gets it -sooo I am hoping that he books soon. ...
Hi ladies. Good to see and hear that everyone's son/daughter is doing okay. I just wanted to say that there is a web site I signed up to get emails from. This is in reference to airfares. www.airfarewatchdog.com (saw article in AARP long time ago ...
Susan, I am sorry to hear that. Hope she gets her phase II back soon.
It is interesting how things can vary from ship to ship. My son was assigned a room with 2 other guys when he moved from the enterprise. One of the guys is in night school and ...
Sounds like all is doing good and on their way!! How exciting please keep sharing. Daughter is in A school and mihgt know by Thanksgiving what her orders are...We're anxious to find out where she will land so to speak?? Whereever it will be it won...
Brenda, Be sure to let me know if Colin does end up here. We would love to have him in. Bucksmom, that goes for Michael as well. If it works out for you to come visit, let me know - I would love to show you around some too!

iloveBrenden said… - Pam, is your son's name Jake? I just saw that in a previous comment you made. If so, I'm fairly certain your son is friends with my husband. Jake is very nice and he helped Brenden and I move into our apartment

- Pam, I wish we could tell each other our Sailors' last name- it would make things so much easier! What is your sons first name? I try and get first names out of my husband since I feel weird calling everyone by their last names and such..

maryjdavis said… - Welll ladies, I thought since I had contact with my son...I would leave this site to wives and girlfriends but....I am soooo frustrated and upset that my husband told me to get back on and see if anyone can give me some answers.
Poor Mandy "Sailor's Sweetheart" had to deal with my crying all ready..you are such a sweetie! Bert is still not in phase 2...he has done additional watches and has taken and retaken the friggin test and misses a word or two. He wanted to be with our family this weekend yet he is the ONLY one that has not moved on...anyone know what is going on :-( thanks!

Sheri - Mom of Sailor Zack said… - Pam - after PIR, did you get the whole weekend with your son? My son PIRs on 9/25 and is going into AECF also so he will be moving across the street. I was just sort of wondering what to expect for PIR weekend....

Mary, Proud Mom of Nick said… - Hey Pam - welcome to the AECF group. It is a great rate with lots of schooling on the front end...once school starts! Holds have been really long this year but hopefully that will change when the new fiscal year starts. Our son is a FC and just graduated from C school and my hubby was an FC for 10 years so if you have questions, let me know. And if there are others in your PIR group that are going into AECF - -please let them know about our group, it is very active with alot of great support!

Ann in MT said… - Pam, I just got a letter from my son today, and found out that he and your son are bunkmates. That is totally cool. He is looking forward to Battlestations.
I myself am counting down the days, altho he's a Grad and Go, so I won't get a lot of time to spend with him.

- Pam, we are recently moved FROM WA state (well almost 2 yrs now) we lived up near B'ham.
Wow, after reading some of the threads below, I realize my son has NOT been real forthcoming with news of his Division. All I've heard from him is how he enjoys some of the classes, is on laundry duty as well as being a 'stick man'. He's looking forward to PIR, that's for sure.

beckilynn*Cody's mom* said… - Pam, you are welcome but I am simply paying back the graciousness that was shown to me when I first arrived here. I was a mess and with the help and support from these ladies and the PIR group we formed I grew into a real Navy Mom. I'm sure I still have a lot to still learn and go through but I have confidence now that I can do it. If you need anything feel free to ask.

- Awww, thank you! That is so nice to hear! Derek is a pretty level headed guy. I'm sorry that your son is having a rough time, but I'm glad Derek and him are friends.... and I will be moving there soon, so I can help look after him for you :)
