I just got in last night from visiting my son a A School in Virginia Beach!  We had a great weekend!  He turned 21 last Monday so we went down to see him.  I thought we might get him both Saturday and Sunday but we only got Saturday because the Navy decided that he was on duty Sunday.  He was able to came out to the main gate to say goodbye on Sunday though.  Hoping to see him again in May when he graduates form A School.

Hello, my son just landed in Gulfport for A school. Could anyone tell me what he can expect? He is a BU. Also where do a majority get deployed? That might be a stupid question, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thank you.

Quick question. I am getting so many mixed messages. Someone posted that A school students in Gulfport can have vehicles? Is that true?

Nanny2  The weather here in MN is weird.  Yesterday it was 30 deg. today in the dumper.  Thursday is supposed to be in the 30's again and more snow on the way!!  I am ready to move South!  My son is in CT- Groton so I have heard all about the weather there.  Just makes you go HMMM.

Ish-mom   brrr that's cold.  Here in ky we have had a long winter for us too. Nothing like up north but below freezing & more snow than usually. Last wknd we had tornados all around us. Crazy weather. It will be good to see my son &  to see what is next for him. His plan when he left was to finish college & get his degree if he doesn't get orders. He also has been talking of switching to full time Navy so I never know w/him. At least he will be closer, he lives about 2 hrs from us, so that will be nice.

Thank you Nanny 2 and Ish_Mom for all the great info.
Comment by ISH-MOM on March 2, 2011 at 1:15pm

Nanny2,

That would be a great place to be right now.  Today the temp was -3 w/ -19 windchill when I left for work this morning.  Old Man winter doesnt want to give up this year!!  Have a great time when he comes home!  My son was able to come home after graduation.  He left Jan 3rd and is not able to come home for at least 16 months min.  :(.  I do miss him, but able to contact each other my cell phones makes it alot easier.

ISH_MOM,  He is in San Diego & loves it. He graduates March 9th. He is in the reserves so he will be flying home on the 10th. I will be happy to see him but he is sad to leave San Diego. 

Ann-Marie,  I forgot to add that my son bought a black backpack to put his laptop, ipod ect in, he was able to carry that on the plan w/him.
