grammy - Hooyah!! Congrats to your son....always a big step!

 

You can never be sure how long they will be where ever they go after BC. We've learned to take it all with a grain of salt.....you roll with the changes. My son has been fortunate as his path has been smooth so far. But, I would not be able to complain anyhow. I am so thrilled with his choice and the wonderful positive impact the Navy has had on our son. It's like it was the missing piece of his life. He is so content, fulfilled and hopeful for his future!

we stayed at the navy lodge when my son graduated and used the shuttle the whole time. did not have to worry at all about getting arround any where and he had lots of info and suggestions for places for my sons and i to go. we took the train into the city one day and got cabs to get arround.

We found Waukegan area easy to navigate but I really didnt care for the traffic in Chicago, reminded me of years in Houston driving.  We stayed at the Quality Inn-just a word-the rooms were small and the bathroom smaller, lol.  Wouldnt recomment trying to put 4 people in there unless you want to be walking on top of each other-but we spent most of the time out and about so it was ok.  They did have a great place for breakfast in the same parking lot.  The hotel itself has a full free breakfast each morning and a free shuttle to the graduation.

We used the hotel shuttle-took right to the gate then came back and picked us up. We drove from Texas so we didnt have to get a rental car at the airport.  I think they have shuttle that runs from the airport to Waukegan for a price

Hi Ladies..I have a question I hope you can help me with. My son goes in to bc on March 28th..Grad day will be in some time May. My question is, what kind of transportation did everyone use when going to grad day. I have panic attacks driving on busy highways due to an accident I had when I was young. Does anyone know of buses or anything that takes us to hotels? I'm just trying to get info on this..

Thank all of you,

Kelly

Well that is the advise I gave, but you know who that goes.

My grandson called yesterday and said his Gunner'sMate school may not start for 6 month-they told him to be prepaired to be there up 13 months instead of the 26 weeks-is this normal?  I know that a lot of A schools are delay but this seems like a really long delay-he has met only one other person that is signed up to be a gunner's mate. Surely they will give these recruits something to do-he will be really discourage and ready to come home if he has to wait 6 months if they dont give him something to do besides clean the barracks-which is what they have been doing several times a day

Susan R-thank you for the suggestion of the Ohio Moms Group.  I will definitely go to it too.

New to A School.  Are there any special tips anyone has for a single mom on a tight budget on how to get to see my sailor son when he is on opposite sides of the country?  I hope I get to see him again. If he put in for a location to be stationed how soon do they find out where they will be permanently stationed?  Are their requests usually granted?  And if so,is that where they will be anytime they are in US?
