Hooyah! My ET son just called to say he passed his comprehensive exam and will graduate on Friday.  And, he's flying home on 10 days leave! The only downer is we won't be able to attend his graduation.

Feels like forever since I visited this group even though my son only left Pensacola back in April.Contact for us while he was in A school was up and down. But, it was funny how many times  he accidentally pocket dialed me. My husband would scold me, but I would listen to some of his conversations cuz it made me feel like I was there with him.

My son had a good A school experience, made it through SERE and is now at Tinker AFB in OK and loving it there.

I am not hearing much from A school.  I  guess he has to study a lot & he's already told us that he'll graduate & get to come home a little while in August.  I do get snippets from him via Facebook but those are just when he makes comments.   It reminds me of the olden days when he was waiting to go to basic. He didn't talk to us much then either, just an occasional txt.  You know: Hey u @ WM?  Get me sum cookies plz. thx.

Slapout---I honestly think that my DS sailor felt so isolated in BC, and knows that he's not likely to have a lot of contact once he's at his next station, that he generally calls us several times a day and skypes a couple times per week. LOL   Does he write anymore? Nooooooo, not unless it's an occasional text. I think he got so starved for our voices, that he's taking every advantage to do so. LOL

I guess I was pretty vague on that last post!  My Sailor is in A school in GL & Yes, PIR was undoubtedly the top of the line experience!  I agree, the transformation was amazing & a source of great pride for me.  He is a DC & will graduate A school in August.  then he will get some leave time.  I guess I'm just still in a let-down frame of mind.  they don't write from A school & texting is not the same.  He sounds like he's a cross town at Wal-Mart or something! LOL  But every day is getting easier & august will be here soon enough.

lapout52; I felt the exact smae way when my son was in bc. I hardly left the house and thought that my world as I knew it was over. He is my only child, except for the dog! I'm proud to say I made it with the help of many great friends on this website. He PIRed 5/6 and is currently in A school.

Watching him go through PIR and seeing the way he carried himself in public made me realize that he's no longer "my little boy". He has grown into a fine young man and I'm one of many moms who is sooooo proud of their child!!! :) The Navy gets very high marks from me on my son's transformation in 8 weeks!!  So does my son, He worked very hard to get through bc, and we are so very proud of him.

I hope your planning on attending PIR. What an awesome event to be a part of!

Graduation is not until August and I'm just sad.  It is a roller  coaster thru basic & then you get caught up in PIR . . . I was not ready for this phase at all!  WHINE!!!  This is worse than post partum depression!  No it's the same.  I must be nuts.
