Navy Dads

Hello All,

Just thought I'd start a topic/discussion on our son's upcoming PIR. Any others here? His mother and I plan on attending, haven't decided if we're flying or driving.  Thinking we might just drive, partly because unlike other classes, they will be allowed to take liberty/leave till the 8th of January before he heads to supposedly Pensacola, FL. for A school.

So far I've booked a room at the Navy Lodge...and checked the flights, since its in the middle of the holidays fares are a bit crazy.

Looking forward to hearing from others.

Tim

So - looks like I'll be the only Dad there...

Well 19 days and a wake up! Flights are booked, rental car booked, and leave forms submitted...

So, just to close this thread. The PIR went off without a hitch. The place was packed and the bleachers are, well aluminum bleachers with about 32 feet between the aisles, and after about a 2+ hour wait and folks climbing in and out, the show got started. I truly have no idea why they start the entrance so early?? 

Oh well, our son did extremely well, as a section leader, he got promoted twice while there and left as an E3.  So he is off to Pensacola after a few days here at home, it was great to have him back, if even for a little while.

Hope everyone else had a safe trip.

Thanks for the reply Jim, no apology necessary - so what is you son doing in Pensacola? A School? Or did he PCS there? 

Thanks again.
