Akablaznk, If your future sailor is staying in GL for A School, you can call the A School Public Relations person and ask them. That is what I did and she told me that unless they have to work (stand guard), they should get liberty until Sun. I am flying from San Diego and plan on being there from the day before graduation (12/30th) thru that Sunday. I don't have the phone number handy but if you need it, I can get it for you. Hope that helps. cjsmallfry

For those who will be able to go to GL for Christmas with their SR, you may want to join the PIR 12/05/2014 and PIR 12/12/2014 groups and ask how it went when they picked up their SRs for Thanksgiving Day. I would imagine the procedure will be about the same for Christmas Adopt a Sailor! They may have some hints for you!

Good Morning Everyone!

Glad you are here, Carol! We have heard from previous family members who also served years back (thank you for your service!) that things are very different with their SRs experience compared to their own. When my son arrived at his duty station, he was told that this is the "New Navy." Some of the oldtimers in there told my son that this is not the way it used to be. They seem to get in trouble now for things that weren't looked at before, most likely because they have the "cream of the crop" to choose from now....with so many trying to get in and budget cuts making it harder than ever---they don't have to put up with anything anymore. It is sad to see many discharged even during Bootcamp, sometimes for medical conditions the parents said their SRs had never shown evidence of before. But we know of some who were discharged for a reason like this, and were able to re enlist 6 mos able so there is always hope!

Today I am truly thankful for all the Navy moms input. I went boot camp in Orlando in 1988 and now my youngest son is serving. It is definitely different being on this side of boot camp. This site has been blessing from God. My nephew is now talking with the same recruiter and I will definitely pass this site along.
I was really hoping he could have called on Thanksgiving, but the call last Saturday was awesome. As a mom the saying "no news is good news" is not that easy, but the Lord has him in his hands walking him through each day. Prayer does work.

I agree....ellen is the best! It is alot of work to start each PIR group (there is one pretty much every week, other than during Christmas break)....she sets up the PIR page, adds the PAGES info, eventually opens the discussion forum, and then monitors the page since she is the only one (other than the site administrator) who can delete others' comments on the pages that are not on par with the rules. We very much appreciate her help!

Today I am thankful for so many things, not the least of which are people like ellen0502 who create these pages so that I can navigate and learn what my SR is doing. Thank you US Navy for giving my son an opportunity, and thank you experienced Navy moms for your help.
