Hello,
Thought I'd share that FTMB-West has been posting pics on FB of training that's begun. My son is part of FMST Class 2015020, and I've seen him in a few pictures they've posted so far. He said it's tough, but he's enjoying :).

Son just responded. He says there is a scheduled shuttle bus for work but not meals. Says it is "messed up" since the old hospital shut down the galley for the move to new facility. Says he needs to either find a friend with a car or order Dominos. Seems like there must be a better solution to this. I would say the Commanding Officer is not aware of the situation or some derrieres would be getting kicked.

Rhonda/ship 13 div 102, just sent my son a text asking him your questions but since he is on east coast time, I don't know if he is already in bed. As soon as he replies, I will post message here. (obviously he is asleep because he usually answers my navyformoms questions immediately). He just transferred from Camp Pendleton and was in FMTB a few years back. His clinic was attached to the FMTB's so he has kept up with what goes on. For now, my assumption is that there is a duty van/bus somewhere that takes sailors with no cars to chow hall. He is right, the old hospital is quite a distance from where he will be living during FMTB. But, there is someone there who is in charge and can answer his questions. He has to speak up.
Often times, families ask to have sailors over for Christmas dinner. We have done that in the past. I don't know how they sign up, though. Not everyone will have a place to go and the young people often entertain themselves with their "new family" of other sailors. It is the way of the military.
I know how you are feeling but he has to be the one who finds out these things. My son has spent a couple of Christmases "alone" in the 12 years he has been in and I think it bothered me more than him. He will always be my baby boy even if he insists he is an adult, married, with two children, and a third on the way.
