<p><br/> thank you for all the great comments. I got my phone call from him and found out in boot camp he is the Religious Petty Officer and the Education Petty Officer...I am assuming this is role playing since he is just SR now. He likes it, which is all I wanted to hear.</p>
<p>I ordered him a challenge coin to give him after PIR with his ship on it. I am hoping this is a good thing too.</p>

<p>Lory, you should read what Jim wrote. YOu may not have any additional time to spend with him other than at the airport. </p>
<p>You will find he will now be on Navy time, and it doesn't always coincide with your own. </p>

<p>Our son had his PIR the 29th of May. He wanted his phone, his laptop, a trip to the mall for new socks and underwear, a steak dinner and then just to relax at the hotel pool. He wanted to have dinner with a couple of his shipmates but couldn't get that done.</p>

<p>Sadly I will have to fly back Friday night. His sister has an event in Georgetown Texas the next afternoon. I have kept the room at the Navy Lodge so we can spend time there after PIR and then "Sarge" has the service that will take him back to base and me to the airport. I will definitely see if he has some shipmates who want to join us as well. I am the only one coming for my grandson and there may be others whose family cannot do this trip.

<p>Ah a great tip. I will keep the options open and mention this in my letters. It is an expensive day so the probability of all graduates having family there or not is something to think about.</p>
