your son will be able to tell you where to sit on the bleachers too to get best view of his unit. he will tell you where he stands and what side he's on, when he calls or writes. Get to PIR early, there is a vehicle line at the gate as they process you in. dont let a guard see you take a photo from the car, they dont like that. Everyone in your car must have ID even school age siblings. Park where they tell ya , then walk to another line to sign in, then go find a seat for the ceremony. take some snacks and pillows to sit on ( we did) ..... when those massive hanger doors open, get the kleenex ready....it will be a thrill you'll never f orget :-)
well said proud, and we hear ya, believe me. take his cell phone laptop andi pod and chargers. by carry-on of course! he will want to hear music and talk to friends at some point too while in your hotel room. they can't carry cells while in uniform, in public, so the hotel room will be his haven! ( he must be in uniform while in public for his three days with you) Take his fav shorts, tees and flip flops...he will wanna slide into 'em as soon as he gets to your room! He'll want a long shower and a nap on a BIG bed!
Scott's mom....fingers crossed!
welcome HM! Don,t know much about Bremerton, or Corpsman, but others here are more familar with that area. might be something in our archive library too (scroll up) several pages of previous lists and advice and things.
I just joined the group. My daughter has orders for the hospital in Bremerton in December. Anyone else have a corpsman at Bremerton? Would love some information on housing, the hospital, and anything else relevant.
Waiting to hear about testing. How soon they forget about how they took tests in school and college.
Great Stuff Nancy! and Congrats Jean! I would love to suggest Aircrew for your boy, with testing grades like that! My son loves it, flies in the P-3 Orions, all over the world, is always land-based (needs an airport/landing strip) and is stationed in Hawaii. He says he's never regretted his choice to go Aircrew. If your boy likes planes/helos....it's a good thing to ponder. (get Aircrew guaranteed contract "signed" before Boot, and it will keep him on that career track (maybe not on a particular aircraft, that will be "needs of MamaNavy" of course, but he'll be guaranteed Aircrew squadron career path) Or maybe your son should consider STA-21 now? Is that a possibility? College/Rotc type training first, THEN serve as an officer after achieving his degree? So many possibilities!
Johanna, I thought when my daughter got out that was it. But no, my tree hugger son has decided he needs to do his duty. LOL
Thanks Nancy, I'll do that. He still wants to go in as a CS. But his recruiter is trying to change his mind.
